Scores were sickened and one person died over the past three years in amateur efforts to rid their homes of bedbugs, the CDC announced.
This review of the film Contagion discusses how vampires and body-snatching aliens are metaphors for contagion. And I've said before that the current obsession with zombies is pretty much the same thing as paranoid apocalyptic fantasies of an economic collapse. But it never occurred to me that we have blood-suckers in our midst that are causing similar fears.
I guess with bedbugs, "shoot 'em in the head" doesn't really work that well as a strategy.
