And what about that "let's create a panic about some bed bug 'epedemic' for clicks"-media-scam?
- Uh, if you were traveling for work of trade shows during those months, even if you think the headlines were hyperbolic, that was absolutely a real problem.
  
  Yes, bedbugs exist. They have always existed. Yes, there was a small increase, as expected with travel increasing again when covid caused a heavy drop before.
  Everything else was indeed media-induced panic.
