Great fads come out of New York. There was the Roller-skating fad of 1884, dance fads, clothing fads, food fads, fashion extraordinaire, television series and healthy fads. And we are proud of them all!
But now New Yorkers are in the middle of a scourge that has become an epidemic. Bed Bugs in New York City! These blood sucking critters are moving through the social hierarchy like the latest craze. They have no respect for social standing, skin color or income. They are so tiny that as infants they are practically invisible to the naked eye.
They hitchhike on clothing or items and move quickly from place to place. You can catch them on the transit, waiting for the doctor, in a cafe, a cab or taking a tour of your favorite gallery. Once you get home they multiply quickly and spread throughout your living area.
They feed on blood and prefer humans to any other creature. Of course they have been around since the dawn of time, but our forefathers had everyday means of limiting their incursion.
