What is one thing about your country that absolutely confounds you?

@HeteroDox Right on! I was going to write something similar but you said it all!

@SW-User They are enclosed in clear plastic zippered bags, sealed up inside. It may take months to get them shipped to this country, and then they go into a warehouse until a store sells them. There is no way they come from inside the USA and they said on the tv show The Doctors that they can live for a year without having a host to feed off of. So yes they come inside the linens or clothing. The departments stores all over the USA have been fighting these bugs having to treat the stores. I don’t know now if they heat-treat their merchandise or not. But you have to launder everything you buy before hanging it in a closet or use it otherwise you are taking a huge risk. The factories are crawling with these bedbugs. This is the price of outsourcing labor and goods.

@cherokeepatti This is amazing, so now i wonder where our products come from and if we have the same issue.

@SW-User It is an epidemic in some places. They had to close down the library to treat it a few years ago, a city hall had to be shut down & treated in another city, schools, university dorms, apartment complexes & other public places not to mention homes. It is labor intensive and expensive to do.
