Rising Tide of Bed Bugs On Cruise Ships
Cruise ship bed bugs are a growing problem. In recent years, there have been several high-profile cases of bed bug infestations on cruise ships. In 2018, for example, a Royal Caribbean cruise ship was forced to return to port after a passenger discovered bed bugs in their cabin.
Bed bugs are small, parasitic insects that feed on human blood. They are typically found in bedding, furniture, and other places where people sleep. Bed bugs can cause a variety of symptoms, including itching, swelling, and blisters. In some cases, bed bug bites can also lead to infection.
There are a number of ways to prevent bed bugs from getting on a cruise ship. First, it is important to inspect your cabin thoroughly before you unpack your belongings. Look for any signs of bed bugs, such as blood stains, fecal matter, or live bugs. If you see any signs of bed bugs, notify the cruise ship staff immediately.
You should also take steps to prevent bed bugs from getting into your luggage. Place your luggage on a luggage rack or in a sealed plastic bag. Avoid putting your luggage on the floor or in the closet, as these are common hiding places for bed bugs.
If you do find bed bugs in your cabin, it is important to act quickly. Notify the cruise ship staff immediately and follow their instructions. The cruise ship staff will likely need to inspect your cabin and treat it for bed bugs.
Bed bugs are a nuisance, but they can also be a health hazard. By taking steps to prevent bed bugs from getting on a cruise ship, you can help protect yourself from these pests.
