Can you catch bedbugs from a friend if you share a hotel room and possibly a bed with her?

Answer 1

No .You do not "catch bedbugs", beds and sleeping places do. So if you sleep in a hotel bed that has a bedbug problem, whether you sleep in that bed by yourself or share it with somebody else, you may well get bitten by a bedbug while you are sleeping in that bed. It is most unlikely that you will take the problem away with you. Unless, as sometimes happened, a female bedbug in your room finds your luggage open and goes in there to lay its eggs or else if you leave your clothes lying around, a bedbug lays its eggs in them. Only if that does happen you could well take the bedbug eggs home with you without realising it. Then the eggs may hatch somewhere in your home iand newly born bedbug nymphs crawl out of the luggage or clothing. Nymphs can detect the breath of anybody asleep over considerable distances, and they will immediately make for the source of that breath which will be somebody's bed in your home perhaps your bed. Once it has found you by following the trail to your breath it will have the urge to climb into your bed and bite you to have its first meal. Once it has done that, you have a bedbug problem in your bed, because it will not return to where it was born but it will find a hiding place very close to where you sleep. It will then come out and bite you again on subsequent nights while you are asleep until the nymphs become adults and lay more eggs so more bedbugs get born in or near your bed, until it becomes a serious infestation..
