Thank-you for your most inspiring and informative article. It has inspired me to write a complaint to the airline I’ve just travelled on. I won’t go into the nitty gritty, but I was able to collect a ‘sample’ in a glass and hand it to the cabin crew and have demanded a follow up report .They did apologise and move my daughter and I and were hugely embaressed and repulsed by my findings.It was in the Business class and it is the second time I’ve been bitten, so when I smelt the musty smell I knew exactely what it was.My first time was about 12 years ago in a five star hotel in Dubai, which goes to echo what most people have said about them not being fussy about their customers. Thanks again and I’m off to go and take photos of my war wounds…

Hi Market Man:

You can order them online from Amazon. The brand we got was Verilux. It’s a 2-piece set — there’s a big wand for home use (with AC adapter and rechargeable batteries), and a smaller one (battery powered) that’s for travel. Seriously, it was your post that made me start looking for one and I sure am glad we found one. It does play too much into my OC tendencies and I’ve been UV-ing our bed and other things since I got it. :-)

I’ll let you know how it fares on our trip this September.

Nice to be here again, MM. I love this blogsite.

Hei Thelma—my pleasure to share that poem. I have a five-year-old nephew who can recite that with such “feelings”!

I also heard from my oldies when I was a little girl—I hope it is not just old wives’ tale—that lansones peelings deter bedbugs.
