  3. Secondo gli esperti non è un problema di igiene: ha a che fare con il clima, la mobilità e gli stili di vita.

  6. THE INDY ONION!

    Hegseth admits he said:
    "kill every one of them" and is very upset someone tapped his personal phone when he was talking about bedbugs. Yes, he was bugged and he was bugged...

    #medical : lice, scabies : #gene_drive
    #lice (body, pubic, head) & #mites (' #scabies ') and #bedbugs have no #natural_predators , it would be fantastically amazing to have a #genedrive to #eradicate the sometimes-lethal insects. Last year, it was widely reported, one on the east coast had died -- was literally eaten alive by a parasite colony in jail. No treatment had been granted, despite repeat complaints. More recently, prisoners in #ice jails, families & children in #Gaza , and held in #Israeli #prisons have reported being deliberately #infected with scabies and lice, suffering horribly. Also #RX #treatment_resistance - much like #antibiotic_resistance w #superbugs - to conventional RX (#antiparasitics ) has skyrocketed: in late 1990s, efficacy was ~97% in USA. But a decade ago by 2016, dropped to ~35%. Today, the identical treatment is prescribed as 30 years ago. Finally, said #drugs = #neurotoxin #nerve_damage . A #genedrive could fix all of that. What is it? A gene edit which makes 100% of all offspring male: no females = inability to #reproduce and it perpetuates every generation so an edited male reproduces w nonedited female and all eggs become male, also carrying the gene-edit.... And eventually the colony depopulates entirely. A very fast & effective cure ..... versus.... a months-long hopeless battle dousing one's body in vinegar, daily, plus numerous other toxins & nerve damage.

  9. And although literally no one asked, here's some pics of the wild bedbugs…

    (They're securely contained in a vial with a tight-fitting lid. The graph paper is a label recording the species, location, and date they were collected. I can put isopropyl alcohol in to kill and preserve them at this point, but I need to buy more.)

  18. Early Humans Settled in Cities. Bedbugs Followed Them.
    A new study suggests that bedbugs were the first urban pest, and their population thrived in that environment. For the bloodsucking insects, it’s been the perfect 13,000-year-long marriage.

    Please don't explode overnight? That would be bad.

  21. Looking at some travel logistics and… The New York City Department of Health has a guide about bed bugs that point blank recommends buying hard-case suitcases and storing them in the bathroom/bathtub. That's how bad it is. No jokes: nyc.gov/assets/doh/downloads/p

  23. Interesting to note that these types of pests really started with increasing human civilization, i.e., first big cities etc.

    Helaas een vervelend souvenir meegenomen van onze vakantie.

  26. #today is another sleepless night in progress; LOL! I got about 3 hours. May get more this afternoon. The third and final offensive in Operation Sleep Tight is scheduled for later this AM. Tomorrow is supposed to be literal mopping-up operations. #bedbugs Made moves in 9 #dicegames once I gave up on sleeping, and got up. #signon
