If you're hitting the road, here are some safety tips to keep in mind.

Planning a trip often involves extra packing to be prepared for emergencies and efforts to avoid falling ill beforehand. But have you ever thought to check your hotel room for bed bugs? If not, now's the time to start.

Recently, two guests at a Ventura hotel, the Shores Inn, won a staggering $2 million lawsuit over a bed bug infestation. They claimed the hotel was aware of the issue yet failed to resolve it, leading to severe discomfort and distress. Alvaro Gutierrez and Ramiro Sanchez experienced firsthand the unpleasantness of bed bugs, resulting in significant payouts for “pain” and “disfigurement,” alongside punitive damages.

When staying in a hotel, consider inspecting your room for bed bugs upon arrival. Check under the sheets and in the mattress crevices to avoid any unwanted surprises. Report any findings to the hotel management immediately to secure different accommodations.
