Blood-sucking bed bugs have made a comeback in recent years. But as victims of infestation have become increasingly desperate to rid their homes of the bedeviling pests, many have only done themselves more harm.
Bed bugs do not transmit disease or cause illness — but the insecticides used to kill them do. A total of 111 illnesses associated with bed bug-related insecticides were reported in seven states between 2003 and 2010 (mostly in the last three years), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said Thursday. Most cases of poisoning were not severe, but the data included one death.
"Bed bugs do not transmit disease or cause illness"-This is not accurate infomation according to the CDC's website.
ReplyDeleteThe CDC takes the postion that bed bugs are NOT KNOWN to transmit disease and that is because the reseach has been limited thus far.
America's Best Value Inn has loads of them in every room!
