"All right. You can stop right there. I don't want to ever stay in a hotel room ever again."

Says Meade after I start to read items from this list on how to prevent bedbug infestations:

• Never put clothes in hotel drawers or on a hotel floor.
• Travel with resealable bags large enough to hold clothes....
• Check your laptop. The bedbugs are attracted to the heat and body oils on the computer....

The rest of the list:

• Inspect hotel room mattresses, bedding, furniture and closet hangers for signs of infestation....
• Use dissolvable laundry bags when travelling. The bags can go straight from your suitcase to the washing machine....
• If in doubt, don't bring belongings in the house....
• Periodically inspect cribs, mattresses, box spring, head and foot boards and under the bed for signs of bedbugs....
• Check the alarm clock on your nightstand, along with electrical outlets.
