Ugh, my friend was telling me about a story she was reading about how NYC is spending $500k to combat bed bugs.

I was up all night thinking those creepy things were crawling all over me

Cuts way down on the volume of poop.

6. My niece in Manhattan has had them twice. It's gotten really bad there.
