* In a heart-wrenching story, The Charlotte Observer reports that a local women's shelter had to be evacuated due to a bedbug infestation. The paper notes that United Family Services domestic violence shelter may reopen in two to three weeks. Usually, residents have 30 days to find a job and move on, however, the Observer notes some of the women have been severely affected by bites and some have had a reaction to the steroid or Benadryl treatments. "I have a choice of going back to my husband and getting punched in the eye or getting eaten by bugs,” a shelter resident told the Observer.
* The Toronto Sun reports that Toronto Housing Authority spends more than $1M fighting pests, including bedbugs with little impact. According to the report, "the most common infestations in public housing stock are German cockroaches, house mice and bed bugs."
* Alice Anderson, MD, PhD of East Carolina University is a co-author of an analysis of bedbug news coverage, asserting that news tracking of such bedbug infestations are perhaps the best current way to track the spread or re-emergence of bedbugs (bed bugs). The paper is publicized with the following abstract at www.pubmed.gov, a service of the service of the U.S. National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health.
