Sounds nice, 1.
The point is that you can't be sure where the bedbug problem came from. They can live for months and months without feeding, and are paper-thin and can travel under weatherstripping. The problem may have hitched in with a contractor or a housekeeper, or it may have come from a neighbor. Literally anywhere.
I hear you.
The only reason why I have such certitude regarding the origin of the infestation in this particular instance is because we found out about 2-3 days later from a colleague that was also at the soup kitchen, that he had also acquired bed bugs. Furthermore, upon speaking to the event organizer, he had mentioned that a particular shelter, which the homeless man who I hugged was staying at, had an ongoing infestation of bed bugs. By way of deductive reasoning alone, I figured that gentleman was the vector for the bugs.
Even with that, it is still possible for the bed bug to have surfaced from another medium.
