Default Bed Bugs

Alrighty folks....not trying to be funny...but I have a concern.

I've had several jobs which have required EXTENSIVE travel.

This has had me in everything from very nice hotels, to....well...not so nice places.

but for the past 10 years I've been a bit dormant.

That will hopefully change soon if I join the ranks of the Regional troops.

One thing that has changed significantly in the past 10 years is apparently a hard-hit to lodging hygene. Specificly concerning is the CDC cautions against the "growing epidemic of bed bug infestations".

Now I'm not as concerned about the hotels where I'll be staying on layover...although I am conscious of the issue...but I am quite concenred about the sorts of places where I might hafta hang my hat while I'm "crashing" somewhere.....especially in NYC. (ground zero according to the CDC)

So the question is simple....what if any precaustions do we take to minimize the risk of taking them little critters home to the family?

Sorry to keep dredging up seemingly trivial concerns. But I'm fond of planning as far ahead as possible.

Thx all.
