On July 5 2012, I wrote the previous report: "I just returned from a 4 night stay at the Palmer House, Jun 29 to Jul 3 2012..." I would like to confirm that after consulting with my physician, the welts mentionned in my previous report were not "Bedbugs" related, so no bedbugs to report for the Palmer House Hilton in Chicago. I will stay there again whenever I return to Chicago, a beautiful and very well located hotel.

I just returned from a 4 night stay at the Palmer House, Jun 29 to Jul 3 2012 and had a wonderful stay. I found the hotel to be beautiful with a great location. On the last day of my stay and since I have returned I'm now getting red welts in the "line of three" pattern common with bedbug bites. Needless to say Im freaking out praying that I did not bring any with me and infected my home and will be consulting my family physician asap. As I was unsuspecting I did not thoroughly inspected my ro

om so I cannot say for sure if my room was infected but since the Palmer House is the only hotel I stayed at recently, it is safe to assume it's where I got bitten and screw up an otherwise great vacation.

Palmer House Hilton on 10/06/2011

The Palmer House prides itself on its 140 year record for providing scrupulous attention to any and all issues that deal with even the slightest breakout of insect infestation anywhere in the hotel. The recent flurry of news activity relating to bed bugs in American lodging institutions is one that is not taken lightly. However, those that directly relate to our hotel, are taken with extreme seriousness and grave concern. It should be made clear that our record for being proactive, preventat

ive and consistently diligent in the training of our room attendants to be aware of even the slightest possibility of such an occurrence is investigated immediately and thoroughly. When there is even the slightest shadow of a doubt we put a guest room out of order until we have conclusively proven that our suspicions are unfounded. With that said, we must make it absolutely clear the recent blogs of guests claiming to be bitten or otherwise affected by bed bugs or other insects in our hotel, are very concerning and without documentation. For questions or concerns please contact: Ms. Karen Mitchell (312-621-7320) or Mr. Ken Price (312-621-7326).

I stayed here on 8/24/11 and 8/25/11. Room was great. Excellent hotel all around. HOWEVER, second night I woke up with about one hundred (hard to count) little bites (red, itchy bumps) all over my back, armpits and arms.

Bed bugs can be found almost anywhere, from apartment buildings to four star hotel rooms. Recently, they have become more problematic. Possible reasons include modern bed bugs resistance to pesticides, increased travel, global warming, and lack of public awareness. Most likely its a combination of all of these and others.

Q: What are bed bugs?

A: Bed bugs (Cimex lectularius) are parasites that feed on human blood. Adult bed bugs are about the size, shape and color of an apple seed. They are found wherever humans sleep, feed mostly at night, and can reproduce very rapidly.

Q. Do bed bugs spread disease?

IN Bed Bug Control Gets Rid Of Bed Bugs In Indiana, Kentucky ...

Perhaps New Hampshires famous motto Live Free or Die will be slightly amended the state just passed a new law which means tenants and landlords may have an easier time living bed bug free.

Like other pieces of bed bug legislation were aware of, the new law, which we told you about when it was NH House Bill 482, isnt perfect. We outlined some concerns about it in that earlier story.

The New Hampshire law, which was passed in June and goes into effect January 1, 2014, stipulates that landlords have to pay for bed bug treatment initially. (This helps make sure everything happens quickly.)

However, the law allows landlords to later charge a tenant for having their own unit treated (with an installment payment plan if needed), if that tenant is considered responsible for bringing bed bugs into the building. That is fair, I think, but (as usual in these scenarios) I have some concerns about how it will be determined who is responsible.

As HB582 notes:

there shall be a rebuttable presumption that the tenant is responsible for the infestation if during the 6 months prior to the inception of the defendants tenancy, and throughout the defendants tenancy, there were no reports, to the landlord or a municipal health or housing authority, of the presence of bed bugs in the defendants unit or the dwelling units of a multiple-unit building that are adjacent to or directly above or below the defendants unit, or by previous tenants in a single-family home.

In other words, the law seems to suggest that if no other tenants report their bed bug problems, the tenant who does report bed bugs is assumed to be responsible.

This is faulty reasoning, because there are lots of possible reasons for those adjacent neighbors not to come forward and report their own problem with bed bugs.

We know for a fact that some people will have bed bugs and not notice, sometimes for a long time. More often, perhaps, some tenants will fear repercussions (not least of which, having to pay for treatment they may be unable to afford) and may stay silent. Some admit they are willing to put up with bed bugs rather than pay for treatment. And then there are the tenants who stealthily treat their own units rather than report bed bugs even though many DIY methods (like aerosols and foggers) make it more likely the bed bugs spreadto neighbors.
