FILES-US-HEALTH-OFFBEAT-BEDBUGS
(FILES)Oscar Rincon holds a glass vial containing live bedbugs he uses to train dogs for The Bedbug Inspectors, on July 26, 2010 in the Queens borough of New York. New York's bed bug epidemic has struck the UN headquarters which confirmed on October 27, 2010 that the dreaded insect has been detected.The blood-sucking bugs have been found at landmarks such as the Empire State building, department stores such as Bloomingdales, big name hotels and the Carnegie Hall in recent months and authorities have warned the problem is worsening. A UN spokesman said the insects were found on October 22 in the library at the world body's headquarters and one week earlier on the upper floors of the HQ. An infestation in 2009 led to an outer building being fumigated. The spokesman stressed however that no staff had reported being bitten. AFP PHOTO/Stan Honda
