"French Officials Tackle Bedbug Crisis Ahead of Paris Olympics"

French officials have held an emergency meeting to address a bedbug infestation that has plagued the country ahead of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. The infestation has impacted homes and the transportation system, causing a national panic. While there has been no resurgence of cases, the government is taking measures to monitor and disinfect public spaces. Bedbugs can remain dormant for extended periods and can survive without a meal for up to a year. The presence of bedbugs is not a hygiene issue but rather a blood-feeding problem. France has experienced a high rate of bedbug infestations in recent years, and the insects have become increasingly resistant to insecticides.
