 Bedbugs are small, blood-sucking insects and they've adapted perfectly to life in human homes. They hide in cracks and crevices around the bedroom as well as the bed itself, and at night they come out to bite us. We've certainly experienced a rise in bedbugs in all the major cities of the world. I think in regard to the London Olympics, travellers that are going to the Olympics have to be aware that regardless of where they're staying, there's the risk of being exposed to bedbugs. For travellers to avoid exposure to bedbugs, probably the most important thing to do is to make sure there's no bedbugs in your room. So taking off the bedding and checking the mattress and the mattress frame, bedside furniture is really important. If you're staying in a room that's infested with bedbugs, unfortunately there's not a lot you can do to avoid the bite. Probably the best thing you can do is wear pajamas because we know bedbugs tend to prefer to bite on exposed skin. It's important when people are leaving London though because you don't want to take any bedbugs home that have been stowed away in your luggage. You keep your luggage on the luggage racks. If you're unpacking clothes, keep them in ziplock plastic bags. Once you do arrive home, make sure you give everything a good wash and pop it in the dryer to try to avoid an infestation occurring at home. I'm happy to take a bit of a chance with bedbugs being around, travelling overseas or travelling to something in an event like the Olympic Games is well worth it and I wouldn't like the concern about bedbugs to detract from my enjoyment of travel.
