In fact, a study conducted between 2017 and 2022 found that 11% of French households were infested, and this number appears to be on the rise.
It's apparently so bad that officials have raised concern over the 2024 Olympics, which are meant to be held in France next year.
Now, as you can imagine, hearing that a city is being taken over by insects that can lay five to seven eggs per day during their peak is nightmare inducing. And for Americans who were once excited to see their favorite celebs stun at Paris Fashion Week... well, now they're a bit concerned about bugs potentially stowing away in their luggage.

So, when faced with a new, kinda gross reality, Americans did what Americans do best. They decided to joke about the situation (because we can't take anything seriously, and I love that we'd rather laugh than cry). Here's some of the best knee-slappers:

Bedbugs broke me. They stole 8 months of my life. I couldn’t sleep because I was so paranoid about being bitten. The bites would itch for weeks, and even after they healed I had phantom itching. 👇🏽🧵
