@maniacalmanicmania @Skyline969 there was an outbreak of norwegian bedbugs in a hotel in Western australia. Mattress burning followed and the issue contained. Generally the turnover of un-shared bedding is preventative.

Brb booking a one way flight to Australia. They’re in Canada and they’re vile little things. I’ll put up with spiders and snakes if it means no bed bugs.

That has a non zero chance of having either urine or semen on it, possibly both.

I probably wouldn't use it as a pillow.
