1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: And Amanda jam Nation. Well, Paris isn't a bit of

2
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:08,560
Speaker 1: trouble at the moment with bed bugs, and the problem

3
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: is that they're in the midst of Paris Fashion Week

4
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 1: and they've got the Olympics coming up, so they're wondering

5
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: what to do with all of that. People are reporting

6
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: on social media that the bed bugs aren't just in

7
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:21,479
Speaker 1: the houses and the airbnbs and the hotels. They're also

8
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 1: on public transport. TikTokers are showing themselves standing up on

9
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: the Metro because they don't want to sit down on

10
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: the seats.

11
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 2: How big are these bed bugs that they're taking the seats.

12
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:34,480
Speaker 1: One each, don't put your feet up. Interesting. They're saying

13
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 1: that it's France's popularity is a tourist destination. They have

14
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:42,559
Speaker 1: seventy seven million annual visitors, so that contributes to the

15
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: spread of the bed bugs, as does it a resistance

16
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: in the insecticides. Something else that I heard was that,

17
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: and I've just had a look here. I heard that

18
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: because hotels generally wash sheets and bedding in cold water,

19
00:00:57,880 --> 00:00:59,639
Speaker 1: that's why bedbugs are thriving.

20
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 2: Doesn't everyone now wash everything in cold water? Well, it's

21
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 2: the whole cold power world that we live in.

22
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: Yes, hotels use cold water unless the linens are heavily stoned.

23
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: Hot water breaks down the material faster, and it could

24
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: so you'd have to replace them them more often and

25
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 1: it's more expensive, but it doesn't help the hotel's bedbug situation.

26
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: Bedbugs don't survive in hot water. So this is one

27
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: of the reasons why there are apps and things, since

28
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: they can go to New York and have a look

29
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: as to which hotels are known for their bed bugs.

30
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 1: So this is quite a common thing. It's a thing,

31
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: but they're worried. Like Fashion Week, all the models, Oh

32
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,119
Speaker 1: look at her itchi bites. I'd like some of those.

33
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: And the Olympics, what's going to happen. It's probably not

34
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,839
Speaker 1: the only bug that will spread around the Olympic village,

35
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: but fascinating watch this space.

36
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 2: And if only those other bugs could be treated with

37
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 2: cold power.

38
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: It's cold spoon baby,
