My boyfriend just spent 2 nights in a pretty infested hotel and got 20 bites. He unpacked his stuff, so they might have gotten into anything.
When he realized what happened, he washed everything non-electronic (including luggage), dried it all on high for 30 minutes, and moved it straight into a new, clean hotel room at a different hotel. He wiped down the electronics thoroughly, used a dustbuster on them, and put them in Ziploc bags. He is monitoring himself for new bites (none yet). So I am pretty confident that he's done everything he could to prevent problems.
He will have 2 more nights alone at the new hotel, and then I was/am supposed to come start my vacation with him there. Am I being crazily risky not to cancel, to voluntarily put myself in a situation where I might encounter bedbugs? I really want to go on this trip and do believe he has dealt with things as well as possible, but would love feedback, including any precautions you might recommend. I was considering putting all my clothes in Ziplocs inside my suitcase and maybe throwing away the suitcase itself before I get home.
