Book Description
Bed bugs are thriving across the globe--from North and South America, to Africa, Asia and Europe. For some time, bed bugs were naively seen as a problem unique to developing countries, but their love of high thread content sheets has set them up in five-star residences in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and other parts of Europe as well. Bed Bugs were first noticed in society by Americans in the early 1700 s. Many believe sailboats returning from Europe unknowingly carried the bugs as cargo, as sailors complained of being attacked as they slept in their cabins. With the introduction of DDT in the 1950s, bed bugs nearly disappeared. But when DDT was banned in the 1970 s, a wave of super bed bugs rejoiced. Now, up to 25% of residents in some cities have reported problems with the pests, bordering on epidemic levels. In fact, history has never seen such widespread and intense bed bug infestations. Our propensity for travel has left bed bugs with enviable frequent flyer status too. Following the Sydney Olympics, for example, and the thousands of visitors to Australia, it was estimated that the bed bug occupancy rate in Sydney hotels was 95%. In "Sleep Tight, "Brooke Borel introduces readers to the biology of these amazingly adaptive insects which can travel over 100 foot distances at night--and the myriad ways in which humans respond to them. She travels to meet with scientists who are rearing bed bug colonies on their own blood-- to the BedBug University, to swank apartments on the upper East Side of Manhattan. She explores the history of bed bugs, and their near extinction, charting how current infestations are in direct response to human chemical use. She also introduces us to the economics of bed bug infestations, and the industry that has arisen to combat that. This is the first history and natural history of bed bugs, and it leaves few exoskeletons unturned."

Book Description
For those who know me, you quickly realize that my passion and focus behind each book I write is to find reliable resources and do the best I can to help make a difference in people's lives in regards to bed bugs and their invasion upon us. None of the contents of my books are of my opinion. I personally suffered from secondary infections and long term healing from bed bugs bites. I spend a tremendous amount of time doing research and learned all that I can in order to educate the masses so they don't make the mistakes that others have when it comes to bed bugs. I work to ensure that pest management professionals and the public have access to the latest information on bed bugs. Hopefully, with each word you read, you can see the time and concern that I have dedicated when engaged in these publications. My intentions in these books are to help save people from needless health and financial risks through education and awareness. As you will learn, bed bugs are not the common everyday pest like ants, fleas and cockroaches and they are extremely difficult to eliminate. If all bed bugs and the eggs are not eliminated, they will continue to reproduce. Aside from deleting pocketbooks and driving people to tears, bed bugs have been accused of fueling hypochondria, insomnia and neurotic behavior. Due to the decline of bed bugs for the past several decades, research on public health effects of bed bugs has been very limited. Bed bugs can have a devastating effect emotionally as well as physically for their victims and in order to fully grasp the magnitude of the impact that bed bugs have on public health, it is important to understand bed bugs and their nature. Bed Bugs can cause a variety of negative physical, mental and economic consequences with the potential to cause significant changes to the overall quality of life for those who are affected by bed bugs. Although not all people are affected the same, some may experience a multitude of health and mental related problems. Similar to lice, bed bugs are blood-sucking ectoparasites that feed exclusively on blood. Bed bugs are not known to be vectors or transmit disease, but they have become a pest of significant public health importance for many reasons which we will cover in the book. The presence of bed bugs can make a stable or normal person experience psychological disturbances and when a person that already suffers from daily psychological problems, bed bugs exacerbate the problems. In keeping this in perspective, I write this with the intentions of "Be Aware - Not Scare". In the pages of this book you will find mental and physical challenges that bed bugs present for some and the symptoms associated with those who live with them. ~~*~~
