#bed-bugs

As a food and travel writer, I sometimes feel like I'm playing a high-stakes game when visiting hotels. While many people go their whole lives not encountering bed bugs -and I have yet to myself-I live in fear because, thinking logically, if I am in hotels more often than the average person, doesn't that mean I also am putting myself at an increased level of risk?

Bed bugs are parasitic insects that feed on human blood, causing itchy bites and skin irritation, and may lead to allergic reactions in some individuals.
