Bed bug bites got a plane locked down last Thursday, said a report from suntimes.com dated April 26. One passenger of the aircraft was mistaken to have contracted an infectious disease. After discovering that the root cause of the incident were the bed bug bites, BedBugBully.com gave advice how to identify the marks. In addition, the website also suggested tips how to get rid of bed bugs fast and safe.

According to the report, Lise Sievers was suspected to have acquired monkeypox from her trip to Uganda. After receiving a call from La Porte Hospital about her rashes, Center for Disease Control held the plane she was on in Detroit and checked Sievers.

During the stop-over, it was said that the 50-year old called her mother. The report detailed that she told her about the bed bug bites she got from her hotel and the pustules she saw in the boy she’d hoped to adopt. Confused that Sievers was the one with pustules, her mother then called La Porte Hospital for advice. In turn, the hospital informed Center for Disease Control.

After confirming that the rashes Sievers got were not linked to monkeypox, the plane was allowed to continue its flight.

Below is part of the report Bed Bug Bites Caused Plane Lock Down from BedBugBully.com

Bed bugs are some of the worst pests that you ever have to deal with. And a great part of what makes them the most dreadful insects that you can ever encounter are their bites and the marks that show up after the act.

Actually, the marks that bed bug bites leave are not the only things that you can expect. Apart from them, there also come swelling and itching. In addition, they can also be a cause of embarrassment. And unfortunately, for Lise Sievers that is exactly what happened. And more, the bites also caused the lock down of her flight for a few hours.

Wilkes-Barre, Luzerne County– A bed bug found at a Wilkes-Barre elementary school late last week is getting under the skin of parents and students alike. It's the second time it's happened in a span of two weeks.

This time, the bug was found on a child's jacket inside a classroom at Kistler Elementary School. It was found as classes prepared to dismiss Friday afternoon.

And while school administrators say they're confident the problem has been eliminated, parents and students remain less than convinced.

Exterminators searched every nook and cranny of Kistler Elementary School over the weekend. They even brought in a trained dog to sniff out and eliminate any possibility of bed bugs here.

None were found.

Parent Bruce Morris noted, “It's something we have to watch out for. I think most of us, as parents, grew up thinking it was just a nursery rhyme. But here we have a nationwide problem.”

Plenty of people were talking about the critter issue Monday morning– including students who say the thought of the tiny creatures makes their skin crawl.

Najae Briggs, a Kistler student, said, “I've heard people have gotten bit before, a lot of people. And people were staying home, yeah.”

Parents say they're even more concerned by this second finding of a bed bug at Kistler elementary. And they're upset that school officials didn't tell them anything about it.

But the superintendent says a letter is going home with kids after school Monday to explain the problem to parents– and the steps the school district has taken to solve it.

Those included the weekend extermination, and having students quarantine their jackets and backpacks in plastic bags Monday, among others solutions.

But since the bed bugs could be coming into the school from just about anywhere, parents say it will take a community-wide effort to end the issue.

Morris continued, “This being the second scare in the school, I think we need to take extra precautions when our children leave our houses in the morning, when we pick them up from school, and a lot of these kids get bussed to other places like the YMCA.”

And while we're told the exterminator's sweep of the school came up clean– officials are urging parents to keep an eye out for the little critters– and wash all their kids' clothes in hot water as an extra precaution.

—————————————————————-

Here's a copy of the letter parents will be receiving:

Dear Dr. Kistler Parents and Guardians,

On Thursday January 26th the office of Kistler Elementary notified Ehrlich Pest Control of a suspected bed bug found in a 5th grade class room.  The insect was captured and saved and then identified as a bed bug by Ehrlich.  The classroom where the bed bug was found was inspected and there were no other bed bugs found at that time.  A treatment was scheduled for the following day after school hours.  The treatment consisted of treating all desks, chairs, coat racks, tables, and room perimeters of all classrooms in the 5th grade pod using a material that leaves no residue or residual and is approved for use in schools and hospitals.   

Because no other signs of bed bugs were present at the time of inspection or treatment, the most probable cause of the single bed bug found is that it was brought in on the coat or backpack of a student.

As students were lining up at 3:00 PM on Friday, February 10th, a bed bug was found on a fifth grade student's coat. Wilkes-Barre Area School District requested that Ehrlich inspect the entire elementary school the next day, February 11, 2012, using a bed bug sniffing dog in order to help ensure that no other bed bugs were present in the school.

The canine inspection was completed on Saturday, February 11th.  The canine used for this inspection has been certified by the National Entomology Scent Detection Canine Association.  A NESDCA certified dog is able to pick up on the scent of just a single live bed bug, or the viable bed bug eggs, and does not pick up on dead bed bugs, droppings, or non-viable eggs.  The canine was able to inspect the entire school, and found no bed bugs present anywhere in the school.

While this has been the first case of bed bugs in the Wilkes-Barre Area School District, they are not new to our area.  There are several ways bed bugs can be brought into your home.  The most common ways are by staying someplace that has bed bugs, or if someone who has bed bugs comes to your home.  While they rarely travel on a person, they will easily travel on coats, bags, and purses.  Bed bugs do not transmit viruses or diseases.  Bed bugs do not jump or fly and because of their secretive nature they do not aggressively go towards people.  Bed bugs are for the most part nocturnal, they are only comfortable coming out and feeding after a person has been at rest for several hours.

Since bed bugs have become increasingly common, it is wise for everyone to be aware of what to look for to detect bed bugs.  The bugs themselves are visible; they are approximately 1/4″ by 1/8″ in size (about the size of an apple seed) and vary in color from clear, brown, to dark red. Bed bugs do bite, however not everyone gets a reaction to the bites, so it is impossible to determine if bed bugs are present based on bite marks alone.  The most common thing you can look for when looking for bed bugs is their droppings.  The droppings are nothing more than dried blood and will most often be visible on your mattress or box spring along seams and piping. 

Please be assured that the Wilkes-Barre Area School District is doing everything possible with this situation and will continue to monitor and keep you informed.

Thank-you,

Robert W. Anthony                 Margo Serafini

Bed Bug Found Once Again at Elementary School

Justin Douglas of Planet Amazing says that scientists have found new evidence of bed bug resistance to traditional chemical treatments, and that non-toxic treatments are more effective.

Austin, Texas (PRWEB) February 11, 2012

Bed bugs are usually costly and annoying problems, and can even be medically dangerous due to the number of bites that bedbugs make in a single night, multiplied by the fast reproduction rate of bedbugs, according to a new report from scientists at Planet Amazing. Justin Douglas, expert researcher with Planet Amazing, says that bed bugs can multiply from just a few to 1,500 in 90 days, thus causing a terrible infestation that brings other problems.

“There is a bedbug cure that still works,” says Mr. Douglas. He has helped cure thousands of bed bug infestations completely through the use of non-toxic, environmentally friendly solutions like Planet Amazing's Bed Bug Shredder non-toxic bedbug cure. “Bed Bug Shredder will always bypass the resistance built up in bedbugs, because the bedbugs are not able to build up an immunity to our non-toxic products.”

According to CNN, bedbugs build up a resistance to traditional chemical-based solutions, which are also toxic to pets and humans, so the end result is that bedbugs become immune and household pets or children are in danger from the traditional bedbug treatments.

“Bed Bug Shredder from Planet Amazing is one of three products we have that are highly effective and non-toxic for treating bedbugs. We have a spray, a powder and a laundry additive, all of which work together to form a wall of protection around your family and home when bedbugs are attacking. Best of all, you do not need an expensive exterminator when you have the Planet Amazing bedbug cure products. Exterminators cost about $1,500 per room, but our Bed Bug Shredder product is about $20 per room in comparison. Because the ingredients are safe for pets and humans, you can apply it yourself without an exterminator. It has been proven to be 100% effective with bed bugs and also prevents future infestations.”
