But don't worry, only two thirds of their call outs are related to bed bugs, the other third are related to FLEAS AND OTHER BITING INSECTS!
David Cain, managing director of Bed-Bugs.co.uk, a dedicated bedbug obliteration service, said: "The number one reason for the spread of bedbugs is the lack of public awareness. People simply do not know how to detect them in the way they would have done in the 1950s and 1960s.
"They are a problem on buses, trains and subway systems, and on cruise ships too – any form of transport where there is a high turnover, really. Recently, on an overground train in south London, I pulled at the parting of the upholstery and found at least four months of dirt and debris."
Nice.

Can bedbugs transport any diseases or illnesses? There may be things I fear, but bedbugs are not one of them.
Night, night.. Don't let the bedbugs bite.

Okay...apparently they can host a moderate number of pathogens but there has been no known cases of bed bugs spreading disease.
However the saliva on a bed bud can cause some people to go into anaphylactic shock and repeated feeding can lead to anemia

Natureplex SleepTight - The Only Bio-Pesticide PROVEN to Kill Bed Bugs FLAT DEAD!
Think you can't get bed bugs?
Think again! These vicious little critters thrive even in the cleanest environments and plague even the most hygienic people. They have been found everywhere from shacks to fancy, penthouse apartments. Not only can anyone or any place have a bed bug problem, they are notoriously easy to bring home.-

I don't think I wanted to know this as I have trouble using public transport anyway! The picture really does not help either ...

When traveling how can you stop from bringing them home?

There's a bed-bugs.co.uk? For some reason I think that's wonderful!
Ugh, they found all sorts of things on bus and tube seats a while back - semen on top floor bus seats was a particular feature I seem to remember. This doesn't surprise me all that much...
