Is that a regional thing? I was under the impression they just popped up every now and then, though I've never heard of any except in stories on Reddit. Don't think I heard anyone mention that it only occurs in a certain climate, and we do have airplanes so it's bound to spread to any place it can.
That said, I would totally buy a second hand mattress. People buy used clothes all the time, isn't that similar? Could contain anything (including bed bugs, the top ddg hits seem to suggest).
- all_blue_chucks 7y agoThey can't survive and spread in cold climates. If you buy used clothes you would (hopefully) wash and dry them thoroughly not just for bedbugs but for other parasites like head lice, chiggers, crab lice or whatever. Good luck cramming a mattress into the wash though :-P
- rexarex 7y agoIncorrect, I know someone who got bedbugs in Winnipeg
- all_blue_chucks 7y agoThey thrive in 70F-80F temperatures and they die in freezing temperatures. Obviously they won't instantly die when transported to high latitudes but they won't be nearly as problematic.
