  1. Well duh you've let all those nasty people into your country….now you can reap what you've sown!

  2. Paris is jammed with immigrants and they bring so much of this type of thing with them.

  3. Bring 😂more illegal refugees from Middle East and Africa lol 😂

  4. People from Paris should be checked and helped if needed at the borders

  5. All those middle eastern invaders have made it even nastier than it was.

  6. I feel lucky I've never had to deal with them. Some random flea from my pets when the antiparasites wears off but those where pretty easy to deal.

  7. Oh gosh, this reminds me I have to buy diatomaceous earth just in case.

  8. Thought the French eat bugs an snails…

  9. I know several people who run AirnB's here in Germany and they are not taking requests from French visitors right now because of this. One French person brought a suitcase that had them visibly inside. Terrible how some of these French people live! It is outrageous.

  10. Terrible in Paris public transport is worse, I recommend being fully covered arms and legs unless u want blistering bite. I wouldn’t take kids there my friends kids came home full
    Of bites after travelling on tour bus

  11. They were here in Iowa back in the 2010's REALLY REALLY BAD! It was a NIGHTMARE Situation that I have No Idea as to how they got in my home. The FINANCIAL STRAIN of it was Insane!
    Then add in the MENTAL DAMAGE from these DISGUSTING little creatures
    I STILL have NIGHTMARES about them CRAWLING on me! 😵‍💫😵😵‍💫
    NO, we CANNOT set these things loose Globally EVER AGAIN.
    Come On SCIENCE let's figure this out…PLEASE

  12. the az one came in across the border thanks biden

  13. Now I see why they didn’t want to leave Africa

  14. This is how humanity will end, with a wimper over bed bugs.

  15. we should introduce american hygiene standards to the french. their 1 shower a week cultural thing is not enough.

  16. When you go to Paris, expect to see the parasites. They're importing them by the boatload.

  17. Some of you don’t clean or bathe

  18. I have been living in Paris for 15 years, I have never seen any bed bugs. However I got a bad experience of bed bugs in Spain and Portugal and ended up twice in rhe hospital because of the bites causing inflammation 😱😱

  19. Paint work better.Bed Bug's is a sign of luck of hygiene

  20. The Book of Revelation…..

  21. I'm not surprised. Paris is one of the dirtiest places I have ever been to. This bed bug issue is a wake-up call for improving sanitation and hygiene in the city. With so many tourists coming and going, travelers should be cautious and prioritize cleanliness during their visits.

  22. Another country with high rates of illegal immigration that has a bed bug problem.
