There has been a 19% rise in the number of people treated in hospital for bites by bed bugs or other blood-sucking insects, a total of 3,620 in the last year. The number of call-outs to pest control companies has increased 200 times in the last ten years. Experts are blaming the rise in travel abroad for the increase. The pests can be transferred via cinema, theatre, train, 'plane or underground seats or from hotel rooms.
