The CDC’s… key

I check the CDC’s website from time to time. The only bed bug-related materials I ever find there are journal articles (the 2003 Toronto study, for example, and the nursing home article we’ve discussed). And they’ve always had these keys (PDF).

So, take a look at the CDC’s (new?) identification sheet at its Division of Parasitic Diseases website. The photos of (unfed) bed bugs are good.

I’m willing to bet this document will be the extent of it.

The cavalry, remember? Detained.

We have to rely on ourselves.
