MUSKOGEE, Oklahoma -
Muskogee parents are being warned to check their children for bed bugs Friday night.Crews quickly cleaned and sanitized a classroom after a teacher found one of the bugs crawling on a student.
Muskogee Public Schools calls it an isolated incident, but parents were warned to check their children for bed bugs.
The district said they are taking the situation seriously and even developed a new bed bug policy.
"Just because somebody had a bug crawling on their clothes doesn't mean they have an infestation, so we want people to remember that," said Wendy Burton with Muskogee Public Schools.

She said administrators at Pershing Elementary found a bed bug on a student; and just like any case where a student shows lice, they took measures to clean the classroom.
"We just don't want people to panic, but we do want them to be aware so they'll take preventative measures at home, check things out at home and things like that," Burton said.
The Oklahoma Health Department said parents shouldn't be alarmed, but should take steps to sanitize backpacks and wash clothes.
"Bed bugs don't live long off the body; basically they come like head lice, they cause no disease or illness, they're just a nuisance," said Oklahoma Department of Health District Nurse Manager Joyce Walker.
