 The real reason for the Paris Bedbug situation should have all of us worried. The bedbugs that have been spotted in their public transit, movie theaters, and even the airport are literally built different, as then they've evolved to be resistant to pesticides. And this is all happening during Paris Fashion Week, which experts are predicting might become a supersport or event once everyone flies home. So given that they are coming, what can you do to protect yourself? Always check the creases and pockets of your suitcase before entering your house. Check hotel room mattresses and chairs before you unpack. And if you suspect you may have picked up a hitchhiker, throw all fabrics into the dryer and crank up the heat.
