Question of the Week

O.K.  Remember about a year or two ago, on the cover of Time magazine, Newsweek, all the newspapers, TV, you couldn't go anywhere without reading about or seeing . . . bedbugs. 

Everywhere.  Bedbugs.  Under the bed.  On the walls.  In your luggage. At your theatre.  And everyone freaked out and were spraying their houses, calling pest control companies, hiring Bedbug Dogs to sniff out bedbugs.  Crazy.  Everyone went crazy with bedbugs.  Little bedbugs.. Big bedbugs.  Bedbugs in their hair, bedbugs in their clothes, bedbugs in the rugs, in the sofa.  Bedbugs up the gazoo.

Then.  Poof!  No bedbugs.  When is the last time you read or heard even one mention about bedbugs in the media?

So, where did they all go?

Or was it all some grand joke played by magazines wanting to sell copies?  Mass hysteria? Sure, there actually were some people who had bedbugs in their homes.  But there have always been bedbugs in some homes.  They have been around for a gazillion years.  But an epidemic?  That then simply disappeared?

So, where did they all go?
