I’ll have to stop being surprised at these.
Dan Kass tells WNYC Radio that the New York City Department of Health is committed:
The city health department for years said bedbugs were not a public health problem, because they are a nuisance but do not transmit disease. Kass says his agency now is committed to assessing the problem thoroughly and helping property-owners, tenants and exterminators work together more effectively.
Maybe it’s not all gloom. Maybe.
The story is about DOH at the National Bed Bug Summit. You can read more about that here.
