Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

After this my main worry is public transport, which has many more people using it every day, and has so many surfaces for them to take over.

I'm itchy just thinking about it..

*starts looking up bedbug repellent

Possibly trains, buses also get treatment on a schedule 🤷‍♀️

You'd hope so! But of course I went searching and found only ominous articles telling me all the places I could potentially pick up bed bugs, and zero personal repellents.
I already hardly ever go out, this is definitely not helping 😂

Look into movie theatres. That's a big culprit as well.
