    You know how in Plague Inc you can spread your disease via the Olympics?

    I’m quite worried that will happen with bed bugs. We nearly eradicated them and have had decades of relative peace, but they’re having a hell of a resurgence. I genuinely fear a world where they become as widespread as they used to be.

        I don’t know about DDT, but if you’ve ever had bedbugs, they absolutely dominate every aspect of your life and are nearly impossible to get rid of. I care about the environment, but I would rather hurt the environment a bit than let bedbugs continue to spread. They are an enemy of humanity.
