Question by Thalassaki:
How do you tell someone they may have BEDBUGS at there house?
I was at someones house and saw some black specled things on the matress. It looked like big pieces of pepper. Is this maybe bed bugs leave behinh? There matress is over 20 years old!! They got it in the 80’s…So I know that is not good already, right? Could this all be a sign of bed bugs and how do you tell someone without emberraing them?
Also, the person that sleeps on it recently got menigitis, the bad kind. They thought maybe it was from a tick bite. COuld it be from the bedbugs?? Thanks

Ew, it could have been. I think bed bugs stay in the dark though, not out in the open. If you have bedbugs you’ll probably notice little tiny bites on your skin, possibly tiny spots of blood on the sheets…
Also, there are lots of kinds of meningitis. Some are caused by bacteria, some by a virus, even a fungal infection. It’s possible bedbugs could spread it, I suppose, because meningitis is very contagious. I think person-to-person is the most common way to spread meningitis though.
