This article is describing the epidemic of bed bugs plaguing Toronto right now. The infestation has become so bad that the bed bugs now leave the home with a person to latch onto others at work, in the subway etc. The bugs are everywhere, not just in low income parts of town. 1,500 reports of bed bug infestations to Toronto Public Health were recorded between March, 2008 to October, 2008. There were only 46 reports in 2003, the first time complaints of bed bugs were recorded. Most complaints were given by people in the downtown area. These parasites breed easily, and are immune to certain chemicals so the fight to get rid of them will be difficult.
