The United Kingdom is dealing with an exponential increase in bed bug infestations this summer due to the brutal heat, according to experts. “The problem has been spreading globally since the late 1990s, and there is literally no country on the face of the planet that hasn’t had a bed bug problem,” David Cain, of Bed Bugs Limited, told the British newspaper. Bed bugs are parasitic insects that feed on blood and tend to be most active at night. Bed bug bites can cause skin rashes and allergic symptoms and have a psychological effect. Air India had to ground two of its planes in July after passengers reported being covered in gruesome bed bug bites after their flights.
