Just hearing the phrase bed bug makes me itch, and Ive never even seen one. The thought of little critters crawling all over my body to suck my blood is really repulsive. How worried should I be, here in New Jersey?
According to a new study, not very worried at all.
A website called Pure Care gathered the data; heres how they did it.
We used Google Trends to analyze ten of the most searched bed bug-related queries (like "bed bug bites" and "how to kill bed bugs"). The Bed Bug Search Score was measured by averaging the volume of searches across all ten queries. States with the highest score were determined as those with the biggest bed bug problem.
