BuzzFeed’s NYC office may or may not be infested with bedbugs

Well, this tweet from BuzzFeed’s media reporter isn’t disconcerting at all:

Well then. Bed bugs detected at BuzzFeed NYC HQ. Fumigation happening tomorrow, employees asked to WFH "out of abundance of caution"

Bedbugs, while a disturbingly common problem in New York, are still the stuff of urban nightmares. Hopefully the issue is exterminated swiftly. My thoughts will be with all BuzzFeed—or BugzFeed (I’m so sorry)—staff who may or may not be carrying the insects. Good luck, but please stay away from my apartment. CGW
