That brings the possibility of bed bugs to one's home these days...... :(

@therighttothink50 Yes they had a problem at the central library and had to shut it down and fumigate it. They later removed most of the carpeting. That library was close to a homeless shelter and many homeless would hang out there all day. Since they built new libraries the old building is used as a warming shelter for the homeless during the cold months.

@therighttothink50 you can go to a store and buy clothing or other textiles and bring home bedbugs. You’d be surprised at the number of people who will return items that are worn and the stores will accept them , it was happening at the Walmart where I worked. One young woman (student aged) brought back about 2 dozen clothing items, they smelled funky bad she had worn them so long. And when she was carrying the to the service desk her arms were up and I saw a cardboard price tag still attached to the back of the shorts she was wearing. I guess she does this to keep from having to buy soap & fabric softener & putting quarters in the machines at the laundromat.
