    I am very afraid of getting them when returning from a travel. Not all clothes can probably be washed hot enough. And it’s not like you can wash a suit case or something. So, i appreciate the issues - they are bad -, but i only said that some of the videos don’t appear to show bed bugs. I said it was partially fake news, because of that. I did not try to laugh away the issues with bed bugs, however, because of those videos the problem blew up and became world news, while basically nothing changed.

      Obviously it probably isn’t enough if you’re in a small room where your suitcase is next to your bed, but for clothes you could try putting them in a vacuum bag (as in one of those plastic bags that you seal up and then suck all the air out with a vacuum)

      I do it anyways because it means way more space in your suitcase but that would probably contain any bugs that are in your clothes

        stop taking your clothes out of your suitcase as well. leave the suitcase zipped up in your hotel bathroom or bathtub.
