Spanish language press on bedbugs in NY

The Spanish language press was perhaps the best in reporting on bedbugs, or chinches/insectos chupasangres as they are called. On 29 July in El Diario/La Prensa they ran an article, taken from the AP newswire, about the city doing a report and taking action...or inaction. The article did give some revealing figures about how many people this affects - 400,000 - or one in 15 people, up a good deal from last year. The graph is curving upward at an exponentially increasing rate so next year it could well be a third or more are affected. And the year after, well, do the math for yourself.
