bed bugs alerts on twitter?

Ouch way too much IT for me! Next time I will not take a smart phone.

Bedbugs love smartphones. Nice, warm, dark places to hide out, under the cover. Easy to get into too, as most pilgrims sleep with them under a pillow. They probably Twitter to each other "mmmm nice tasty human morsel approaching".

I've heard of a pilgrim being mortified, having nuclear bombed her pack and every bit of clothing, to have a bedbug drop out of her phone as she registered at a hotel.

If a place is badly infested the bugs are easy to find - especially if you give the bed a tiny spray of mosquito repellant a la @Anniesantiago .
