臭虫侵扰在全球范围内呈现增加趋势，这种寄生虫不仅造成睡眠困扰，还可能引发严重健康后果1。2020年法国医学期刊曾报告一名70岁男性因长期臭虫叮咬导致贫血和晕厥的案例1。更令人担忧的是，2023年南达科他大学的研究表明臭虫可在一次进食中获得抗生素耐药菌MRSA，并在后续进食时将其传播1。
臭虫问题的恶化与过去的防控政策密切相关。1972年美国环保局禁止使用DDT农药后，臭虫种群开始复苏1。目前美国多个城市都面临严重的臭虫困扰，其中Orkin将芝加哥列为臭虫问题最严重的城市，而Terminix则将费城排在首位1。应对臭虫侵扰需要投入可观的成本，专业灭虫处理费用可达数百至数千美元1。针对家庭防治，建议使用干热处理，温度至少需达到122华氏度（50摄氏度）1。
Bedbug infestations are increasing globally, prompting growing concerns among scientists about potential health risks associated with the parasites 1. A 2020 report in a French medical journal documented a 70-year-old man who developed anemia and fainting spells after prolonged bedbug bites 1. More recently, a 2023 study from South Dakota University revealed that bedbugs can acquire antibiotic-resistant bacteria MRSA during a single feeding and subsequently transmit it during later meals 1.
The resurgence of bedbugs traces back decades. After the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency banned DDT pesticide use in 1972, bedbug populations began recovering 1. Today, infestations remain a widespread problem. According to pest control rankings, Orkin identified Chicago as the city with the most severe bedbug issues, while Terminix ranked Philadelphia first 1. Professional extermination services can cost anywhere from several hundred to several thousand dollars 1. Researchers have encountered significant bedbug exposure during their work; one professor reported being bitten more than 50 times during investigations 1.
Heat treatment is recommended as an effective approach, with temperatures reaching at least 122 degrees Fahrenheit (50 degrees Celsius) necessary for elimination 1.
