Aside from what Yasmin mentions, the best thing you can do is to wash your clothing as soon as you get home from a trip. Sealing your clothing in a garbage or other plastic bag is also helpful. That way, even if you do not wash everything right away, any bugs that could be on your clothing cannot get out and enter your bedroom. Finally, keeping your suitecase out of your bedroom and in the area you do laundry—or somewhere else in your house—might be helpful until it is empty. Then, if you are concerned, you can even put your suitecase in a garbage bag until you use it again. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Most people react to bedbug bites.
