Antispeciesism includes parasites like leeches mosquitos and bedbugs.
There are non-lethal ways to protect yourself from parasites.
No one chooses what species they are born in to and villainising moralising or stereotyping parasite species helps nobody but it does reinforce human supremacy and anti-insect speciesism
Ever noticed how in fiction insectoids are almost invariably unintelligent evil or ravenous beasts and humanoids can be approachable and reasonable: that is an example of anti-insect speciesism

60% - 80% of the population have some sort of parasitic infection and they don’t realize they have one. So many symptoms are related to parasitic infection, and oftentimes you go to your physician and complain about a symptom you end up with a medication. They don’t put it together and say ‘huh this could be a parasitic infection’.
Symptoms related to parasitic infection:
Vomitting Diarrhea Nausea Change in your bowel movements (a sudden change, all of a sudden you constipated, loose stool, diarrhea)unexplained fatigue or malaise, constantly tired no matter what you do, got 10 hours of sleep and still tired.
Sleep disturbances.(Toss and turn, wake up 2 in the morning and can’t go back to bed, this could be a blood sugar problem but also could be a parasitic infection)
Itchy skin, rectum, pinworms are notorious for itchiness around the rectum. unexplained itchy skin is very common with parasitic infections.

Suspected a hotel had bedbugs 30 minutes after checking in, immediately checked out (didn't even get in bed). We've been inspecting and cleaning everything now that we're home and found this. Is this a bedbug?
Boost please. Any help is appreciated

Meanwhile in #Paris..... having been subjected to a #bedbug infestation & a #sewage problem in the #Seine, now the #Olympics organisers are picking a fight with Paris' riverside #book stalls that they want to absent themselves from the banks while the opening ceremony as their stock boxes are apparently a security risk...
How this will play out for the Paris mayor & Olympics management remains to be seen

I felt bored watching Killers of the flower moon, I even went to see with my smartphone's flashlight if bedbugs weren't having fun around my seat. #LeonardoDiCaprio and #RobertDeNiro act bad It's distracting. Lily Gladstone is fine. After reading the flamboyant book by David Grann, i think its adaptation was narrow and plane. What I liked: Some great shots (Scorsese!) and the movie points straight at evil, ignorance and greed. #Killersoftheflowermoon #scorsese #davidgrann #movie #cinema #bedbug

Meanwhile, back in #Paris...
Having already had to 'fess up to a major #bedbug problem across the city, now it seems there is also an urgent need to clear up the #Seine, which is being used as a sewage outflow (such an English problem)...
So, not only are you going to be scratching & itching your way through the #Olympics next year, you're going to be feeling a little ill if you get in the city's river...
Its not a great way to start your marketing to #sports fans, now is it?

Is it just me, but almost every article on the #bedbug "infestation" in France, seems to be worded so as to cause maximum panic in the headline:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-66995977
> Bedbug panic sweeps Paris as infestations soar before 2024 OlympicsAnd then in the body switches to "of course this isn't backed by any actual statistics"?
> The fact of the matter is that bedbugs are making a comeback, and have been for perhaps 20 or 30 years. But that is not just in France, but everywhere.

Yes to the double-sided carpet tape as well as DE. I used the combo when my apartment building had a #bedbug infestation to give myself a "ring of safety". -

Bloodsucking #BedBug case that was discovered in 2019 demonstrates what a fraud #Science and #Tech in #EuropeanUnion is
In four years, it is not known whether French BedBug is a local variant that has become resistant to insecticide or an invasive species that has colonized the mattresses of the French. Indiscriminate fumigation campaigns do not eliminate pests but they do eliminate their predators, which is the reason for what is happening in France right now.

Coming soon to a cinema near you? The return of the #bedbug
French movie-lovers are struggling with a plague of insect bites. Bed bug infestations are up 65% in the UK. Is anywhere safe?

Apparently I didn't win an #IgNobel #Prize again this year. I suppose I am going to actually have to #Publish something - But that's hard!
