Thanks, Nobugs.

It’s inspiring the way the Southern Nevada Health District did not stop at disappointment with the state’s regs: they rolled their own.

That’s a mighty fine bit of sleuthing there, Miss R!

I especially liked the humor of the PowerPoint author (e.g. “Sanitizing, or Lack of”, slide 27). Looking at some of those slides, I am saddened not just for the people who bought the probably-still-infested mattresses, but the workers in those “refurbishing” factories, who surely brought bed bugs home with them from work.

It’s no surprise to any of us that after doing their homework, Southern Nevada picked heat.
