Is it really true you can pick up bedbugs at the movie theater? I read not to drag in furniture that has been set on the curb. That amused me because it is an old habit I guess I will have to give up. I would rather avoid buses. But really, should one avoid sitting down in public? Coffee houses? Restaurants? Church? Just reading this thread made me feel anxious. I am pretty phobic about insects. (I grew up in a big house infested with almost every insect and bug I knew including "thousand leggers", silverfish and termites, and also mice, because my parents didn't believe in pest control.) Definitely left its mark.
