Worried you might get an unwelcome souvenir from a trip abroad?

Bedbugs seen in the seams of a sofa bed, in L'Hay-les-Roses, near Paris, France, Sep 29, 2023. SINGAPORE: Seen the news about a bedbug infestation in Paris? Or trending videos on TikTok of the pests scurrying out from under train seats in the City of Light?

Family doctor Lye Tong Fong said bedbug bites may be red and itchy like typical insect bites, and there are no serious complications for most people.It is “very rare” to go into anaphylactic shock because of an allergic reaction to bedbug bites, he added. In Paris, bedbugs have been reportedly spotted on public transport and in cinemas. But their main source? Hotel rooms, said Pestbusters general manager Angela Toh.

Signs of bedbugs include blood stains and their exoskeletons, which may look like wood shavings. Fecal spots or rust-coloured splotches may also be present.
