Boy Brings Bed Bug to School
Parents of children who attend Washington Elementary School (Waterbury, Conn.) are encouraged to check their children and belongings for bed bugs due to a student who had brought the bugs with him to school. Administration sent letters home to each of the student’s parents informing them of the situation. Schools let parents know that they took care of the situation by removing the boy’s clothing and sanitizing it before returning it.
Like apartment buildings and hotels, schools are another place where bed bugs can be picked up and brought home. All it takes is one student to effect the entire building. If you are a teacher or have a child in school take caution and double check their clothes when they return home to prevent spreading bed bugs.
