Can bedbugs travel from person to person?

Question by untitledblue: Can bedbugs travel from person to person?
I’ve been noticing that there are a lot of articles on bedbugs recently. I was wondering if you can contract bedbugs from another person? The reason I ask this is because my boss travels a lot and stays at mediocre hotels, so to speak.

Now if they can is there any way to protect myself from them?

Maybe if the person, right after his sleep, sleeps in another bed.. or if he didn’t take a bath.. you know parasitism, that may also happen.. their bugs after all.. but i think they’re not effective to humans.. their “bed”bugs…

To protect you from it… always clean your room and make yourself clean, got it?

Sort of. They wont be travelling on him. However there is potential for them to hitch a ride in his luggage, and then go home with him. Or say a brief case he had in the hotel and brought to the office. I think they would prefer the luggage to the brief case, but possible.

I’d check the website reports for infested areas and double check with places he’s been. There is a report site I’ve ran across so do a search for it.
