    They look like the bugs my dog had once in awhile when I was a kid. We called them ticks!

    Bed bugs are very similar to ticks. However they don't bury and attach themselves in your fur. They tend to get their fill of blood then detach and snuggle into a warm fold and/or hiding place.

    Short of sleeping in one of those full-body condoms seen in the fine film "Naked Gun 2½", what is one to do to avoid this scourge?

    I like to check out this website...Bedbug Registry

    I remember a dealer had a bedbug issue in Cincinnati at the Central States show in 2009, and I have a feeling it might happen in Philly...but at least we're not in Rosemont! image

    Thanks for the above links, glad my hotel is not on the links. Not that it means that much but a good start.

    I was just about to mention that incident. That dealer had to dispose of all his luggage to contain the contamination.

    At least they are showing an interest in coins, but I guess fresh blood in the hobby ain't always a good thing.
