If not, you're at risk.</p> <p>In this case though, it sounds like you weren't exposed directly to the source of the infection? That should help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bed-bugsshould-i-be-worried#post-328613 Sat, 06 Oct 2012 17:28:07 +0000 dagret 328613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You definitely could pick them up from work. One of our state office npbuildings was just closed for bedbugs, and people who reported them at their home or desk were given administrative leave until they took care of it (unionized workers obviously). I might bring this up to a supervisor if I were you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bed-bugsshould-i-be-worried#post-328553 Sat, 06 Oct 2012 15:38:45 +0000 MrsBrewer 328553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: thanks! Yes that's the post I remembered reading! </p> <p>I mean to be just honest though, I just have no fathomable idea how easily bed bugs are spread? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bed-bugsshould-i-be-worried#post-328552 Sat, 06 Oct 2012 15:36:13 +0000 mrbee 328552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: To play it safe, follow the tips here!</p> <p><a href="http://www.hellobee.com/2012/06/29/how-to-protect-yourself-from-bed-bugs-when-traveling/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/2012/06/29/how-to-protect-yourself-from-bed-bugs-when-traveling/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bed-bugsshould-i-be-worried#post-328550 Sat, 06 Oct 2012 15:35:31 +0000 MrsBrewer 328550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Alright so I work a part time job on the weekends, and I girl I regularly work with came into and said that she thinks she has bed bugs.....she hasn't done anything about it yet and thinks she is just going to throw away the mattress and that's it. Not have a professional come in or anything.</p> <p>Well we sit in different cubes every time we work, should I be concerned that I can be at risk from getting bed bugs from her!? I've never encountered them before but I remember Reading a post about bed bugs before. </p> <p>I'm freaking out just a little bit. Right when I got home, I changed clothes, and keeping my purse away from stuff.....help! </p>
