The US Government Refuses To Do Anything About the Bedbugs Epidemic

OP: Haven't you ever wondered WHY we now have a Bedbug problem? Up until about 12 years ago, you RARELY heard about infestations, let alone seeing signs all along city streets hustling Bedbug treatments for only $29.99/room. And the MSM still doesn't report the problem.

SO: WHAT HAS CHANGED?

It's NOT the EPA. It's the influx of illegal IMMIGRANTS into this nation! Just another one of the special "Gifts" they bring right along with them... and they ALWAYS HAVE!

Think I'm wrong about this? Better think again!

During the Industrial Revolution tens of thousands of European immigrants flooded Ellis Island every month and there's a very GOOD reason America's first immigration portal was located on an ISLAND because the presence of disease and pestilence was rampant as they were pulsed though long lines after a cursory 3-point check for TB, Cholera and Smallpox. The obviously ill/suspect were pulled from line and immediately shunted to Hoffman or Swinburne Islands or deported along with the mentally-ill, political radicals or other "undesirables" but this amounted to only 1% of all arrivals.

Between 1905-1914 ONE MILLION people per year successfully went through those lines and along with them they regularly brought fleas and bedbugs [or worse] and very quickly those infestations inundated entire neighborhoods where they settled.

Ellis Island had it's own vast hospital, detention center and laundry where those suspected of carrying disease were detained, but they were for disease only; when they were detected, early treatments for infestations included mandatory Kerosene showers and the steam-cleaning or burning of all clothes/possessions and in cases of the communicable disease those burnings were also mandatory. Those that died during detention were buried in common graves in large Potter's field cemeteries.

But virtually NOTHING was done about the bugs that easily reached cities all across America as their carriers dispensed from coast-to-coast - and those were the ones who actually went through the official screening process! Anonymous border-jumpers have ALWAYS been a threat to public health.

Early treatments for Bedbugs included compounds of Arsenic and Mercury and every corner drugstore had large shelves stocking them... but most immigrants were either too ignorant or poor to buy them... after all, they'd lived with bugs their whole lives, so why bother? Fleas would be treated by body dustings of Borax, but again weren't that widely used by immigrants. They just scratched along with the family mongrel.

Starting to get the picture now?

BTW: the next time you see one of those little plastic signs advertising Bedrug treatments at discount rates, notice the neighborhoods where they are located! Invariably they will be adjacent to areas with a high immigrant population.

NOW YOU KNOW WHY!!

$29.99 a room is a good price

$29.99 a room is a good price

CONGRATULATIONS on missing the point... and even if you were being sarcastic, it's not funny. Not one bit.

they're gonna have to bring back DDT.

There is a fungal bio pesticide that is showing good results and safer than ddt
