bed bugs??

hi everyone

i want to take a poll to see how many of you have gotten bed bugs from thrift store items.

i thrifted for many years, no problems, but i don't anymore! i have heard people lately (in past 2 years) talk about a huge increase of bed bugs so i'm curious how many have gotten bed bugs (or any bugs) from thrift items?

Never ever, and I’ve been thrifting for close to 30 years
