I've stayed more nights in hotel rooms than I can count or remember.

In all but one have I ever had a bite, and I suspect that was something other than bedbugs (spider, etc.).

I'm far more worried about getting sick from touching the remote control that everyone has had their groin-scratching boogery hands all over. Pardon the visual.

I carry antibacterial travel wipes and disinfect the doorknobs, remote control, light switches, phones, etc. It may seem like Howie Mandel, but apparently it works. I can point to many fewer times of getting sick on the road.

I agree -- there have been a lot of "what if" and the "sky is falling" posts. Here's a little constructive criticism: Picard120, why not participate a little more in the forums than just posting quick links to negative articles? Let's hear about some places you have been, gear you've reviewed, what's in your survival kits, etc.
