bed bugs?
I find as I've gotten older I get more paranoid? about things I never would have worried about when I was younger! And a new worry is bedbugs - they have gotten a fair amount of media buzz and also I am aware of some apartments in our city that have this problem. I know it is said - that a five star hotel can have the problem as easily as a no star but somehow I don't quite believe that. Anyone on this board encountered them?

Why are you posting this in the Europe forum? Are you imlying this has something to do with Europe in particular? You are talking about apartments where you live, maybe you meant this to be in the Lounge?
anyway, no, I've never encountered them

I am posting this in the Europe forum because I want to hear from people who have traveled to Europe to get their first hand info. I figured there are hundreds of hotels represented on this forum -so seemed like a good place to get first hand info rather than the hysteria driven media. My main concern is bringing them home with me in my luggage - supposedly it can happen - I do tend to be quite skeptical of what I read or hear on TV but bedbugs are a nasty pest to get rid of. So I'm asking.....

I can't find the article, but La repubblica had a piece about how the Tourism Ministry was getting involved in working with hotel owners on ridding rooms of bedbugs. Problem is when a traveller opens his/her suitcase and there were bedbugs at his/her last stop or home, the critters pile out and infest the new digs!!!!
