I’ve had them in my shared apartment, but they never got into my bud. Felt so lucky, even though the situation overall was dogshit. The nastiest thing was that the recommendation is that if you get them, that you don’t dump out your bed or even switch to sleeping somewhere else, so the bedbugs wouldn’t start moving about and spread to other apartments. Makes sense, but nasty stuff.
We obviously had professionals come in and that’s what they did to the bed where the bedbugs were. For my bed (which was free of the buggers) they didn’t put it in plastic, just gave us cups for the feet. But otherwise the same deal. Not touching walls, had the earth put in next to all the walls, no fabrics (bed stuff, clothes, anything) from the floor on the bed and so on. Also massive project of putting all the clothes to the wash and shit.
It was a massive hassle, but I’m very happy that the bugs hadn’t spread to my bed.
“It doesn’t hurt to” is an idiom meaning it can be beneficial. It doesn’t mean you were arguing that it hurts to be fit. I’m saying it’s not necessary to be fit but it might still be worthwhile.
I think it definitely anecdotally helps with confidence, but went searching and seems like at least some studies corroborate this common view, at least for self-esteem
