Can you bring bed bugs home from staying in a hotel?

Answer 1

Well sort of - but be aware the word "contagious" is rather a misnomer. I think you mean if you are staying by yourself in a hotel and there is a bedbug infestation affecting your bedroom which results in female bedbugs laying their eggs in your holdall which you then unwittingly take back to your home, and then when the bedbug nymphs eggs hatch in your home will the bedbugs necessarily come to you to feed in your bed rather than to other people's beds also living in your home. The answer is they may be attracted by the CO2 breath when asleep ofwhoever's bed happens to be nearest. That may or may not be your bed or else somebody else's bed in your home. Once they have found food (i.e. a bed with somebody asleep in it) they can feed off, that will usually become their base very near where that particular person sleeps. But if several people sleep in very close proximity bedbugs may alternate on different nights to feed off different people's blood in the same bedroom or dormitory. If the bedbugs in one person's bed then multiply and become an infestation, that problem will very likely spread into other people's beds in that home or sometimes in nearby apartments or homes as well.

Answer 2

Not really.

If you have bedbugs, they are liable to crawl on you and lay eggs on your skin.

When you transport the eggs to a different spot like your friends couch, you could accidentally leave eggs there.

Answer 3

Yes, definitely. In fact, it is one of the most common ways to get bed bugs. So many people come and go in hotels, that it's easy to start an infestation. And if you stay in a room with bugs, they can get in your luggage and come home with you, even over a long trip. Always check the hotel room for signs of bed bugs, and then make sure you vacuum your bags and wash everything once you get back.

Answer 4

Yes. Bed bugs can spread by hiding in a persons belongings. If you've ever stayed in a hotel room with bed bugs, you may have a chance of finding them in your luggage or even in your own home since they've had the chance to get inside your suitcase and then once again escape when you've opened it, back at home. An infested household may also infect their visitors, as the bugs may hide in the clothing currently on the body if the person has stayed in the house long enough or has sat or laid down anywhere in the house.

Answer 5

BedBugs will bite in a hotel or anywhere else. Unlike other parasites such as a tick they do not live on their host. They bite / feed then return to their hiding places.

Theses nasty creatures will hitch a ride home with you but not on you. They will hide in your luggage, shoes, clothes, or anywhere they can that is hidden from the light.

Answer 6

yes. bedbugs are dangerous and on the occasion sometimes lethal to your health. they carry bacteria which can enter your mouth and kill you. SO CLEAN YOUR SHEETS AND BED !!!
