You're listening to the Jeff Fisher Show. Don't miss The Morning Blaze with Doc and Skip. Now this from our international file, police in Brazil are searching a worldwide web of evidence in hopes to find a dude who shot a man in an internet cafe. An ombre with a handgun can be seen on a security camera walking into the computer cafe and aiming a gun at the victim's head. The gun jammed and he left before the reality of what was happening could click with the patrons. The Morning Blaze with Doc and Skip.

Weekday morning, 6 to 9 Eastern on the Blaze Radio Network. We've got to talk something horrific, horrible going on in the country. And it needs to be addressed. And it needs to be addressed now. And that is the horror of bedbugs. Okay? This has been going on for a number of years now. And it doesn't seem that people are taking the, taking heed to the horror that is bedbugs.

And now we have a big story. on the blaze right now. Louisville, Kentucky family's vacation at Florida resort turned into what they're calling a nightmare. When they realized their room was infested with bedbugs. It's really pretty bad.

There's pictures of the mom. Oh, man. When they started noticing bites showing up on their skin, initially assuming they were from mosquitoes. When Moore started popping up over the few days. They pulled back to sheets.

There they saw the watermelon seed sized bugs that feed off human blood and are notoriously hard to get rid of. We counted 266 bites

on my oldest daughter. 125 bites on my middle child. All right, first of all, stop for a second. After about the first 50, don't you think to yourself, you know, maybe it's not a mosquito flying around. That's just me.

Family cut their vacation short. Not as, 266 bites on the oldest kid. That's short? Okay. Anyway, I'm not beating up them. It's not their fault. Although, come on. I mean, you know, after, I'll give you 50 bites.

I'm giving you 50 bites. Out of my goodness of my heart, I'm going to give you 50 bites on the bed bug thing. Because 50 bites might happen, boom, overnight. Right? You're laying in bed. You got bed bugs. Woo.

Those little nasty things calling you biting you. It's like a blood out of you. And I've got to show you a way that they usually don't talk about it on how to fix it if you go to the hotel. Okay. So they're all over. And then I find that we have the bed bug registry. it's bedbug registry.com. And I'll tell you up and down the East Coast is some serious bedbugs.

All right. So just be careful. Now, you know, they like the humidity and this warmth and the sheets and human skin and stuff. They get all that. So. And then I think which one is worse? I mean, you got bedbugs, right? You got scabies.

You got crabs. creepy crawly things all over you. Dasty. So you got bedbugs. You got scabies, crabs. I would guess crabs are scabies is probably

scabies is they dig deep burrows inside your skin and lay eggs there. According to this story on the difference between bedbugs, crabs and scabies. the burrowing inside the skin gives you that obnoxious feeling that can drive anybody crazy. My gosh.

And, of course, the, you know, the bedbugs are, you know, in the sheets and in the corner of the mattresses and stuff. And the crabs are more human skin-ish area in your privates. And you'll feel those. However, let me tell you. So I've, you know, be careful when you go out on your vacation. In summertime, you're going out, you're taking the family, you don't want anything bad to happen. And you obviously don't want your kids to get all bit up by bed bugs and all that kind of stuff in hotels. But here's how you fix it.

Or at least gives you a fighting chance at a lot of these resorts. And hotels anywhere, really, is I was told this by a bug man. All right. And this is what he does. and I thought, wow, that's a good idea. So he checks in. You check into the hotel, right? Before you unpack anything.

Because the bedbugs will, you know, they move around and carry around in luggage and sheets. And they have babies. Their female bug of the bed bug can lay up to 100 babies that look like dust. and they come in through luggage and clothing and all these little, you know, crabs and scabies and stuff, they travel on you and you have the opportunity, and they have the opportunity to hit your ride. You go into the hotel, you check in.

Before you unpack anything, take all the betting off. Every single thing of the betting, all the betting. Everything. Pull it off. Look for the bedbugs, but you wrap up the bedding and set it out in the hallway and call the desk and say, I want all fresh bedding. My sheets, blankets, comforters, pillows, pillowcases, all of it. Get housekeeping up here. I want all new. And there you go. So then you're able to look at the mattresses, see if there's any issues. If there is, you get a chance to leave.

And you get new sheets, new comforters, new pillows, make a housekeeping, take care of it all. Now, you have a better shot of not getting, what was it, 200, wow, 260-some bites before they figured out, hey, and there's a little bed bug issue here. Ooh, ooh.
