Don't Let the Bedbugs Bite

This post is for someone I know who would prefer to go nameless. Sunday's NYT has an article describing the return of a scourge long thought to be vanquished.

In a piece, aptly entitled Just Try to Sleep Tight. The Bedbugs Are Back, the article reveals that "bedbugs, stealthy and fast-moving nocturnal creatures that were all but eradicated by DDT after World War II, have recently been found in hospital maternity wards, private schools and even a plastic surgeon's waiting room. Bedbugs are back and spreading through New York City like a swarm of locusts on a lush field of wheat."

As my friend will attest, Philly too. And as the article notes, she has also become an expert on those little critters. All I can add is sleep tight and hope those damn bedbugs don't come back.
