The bedbug problem in Hazleton, Pa. that bubbled up three years ago has erupted in coal country like Mount Saint Helens. School officials last November went into a tizzy when a elementary school student was found with a bedbug bite. It’s only gotten worse. Health Officer Mark Thompson now describes the situation as a nightmare.
Bedbugs are teeny — about a 1/50-inch long — reddish-brown insects that feed on the blood of warm-blooded mammals like humans. They crawl to their meal attracted by warmth and carbon dioxide which is what one exhales. They like to feed about once a week but can survive for a year without a bite.
Bedbugs were largely eradicated from the U.S. in the 1940s so why the resurgence in Hazleton and, to be fair, in other American municipalities?
Like most of this nation’s troubles this can be traced to mis-educated and over-schooled types who without experiencing much reality have acquired political power, and the fools who follow them in an attempt to appear smart.
Hazleton has become a magnet for those who, to put it politely, have taken up residence in America without participating in the expected formalities. And with DDT being banned for even limited and responsible use it has become much harder to eliminate some of that teeny baggage they brought with them.
So thank you Democrat voters and other followers of mis-educated and over-schooled types who have acquired political power. Our lives so much more, well, different than what it was in the past because of your choices.
