Bedbugs, meat can carry drug-resistant MRSA bacteria
Source: Pittsburgh Tribune-Review


Bedbugs may carry deadly drug-resistant bacteria, according to one of two studies published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The staph germ methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, known as MRSA, was found in the bugs, Canadian scientists said in a report.

Human handlers may contaminate meat, Wayne State University researchers wrote in a separate study.

The CDC released the findings of both reports today and will publish them in its June issue of Emerging Infectious Diseases.

3. Dear Bedbugs,
This constant stalking, phone calling, and professions of love are getting old. It will never work. Sure, it's all nice in the beginning, but eventually, you bite us and drink our blood...every, single, time.
Enough. Please move on to some other animal. I hear bears are much more your type, and they have much more blood per bear.

Signed,
Humanity
