France currently has a serious outbreak of Bed bugs. The situation is so serious that it has captured government officials’ attention, especially in the run-up to the 2024 Olympics, when millions of visitors are expected to descend on Paris. The deputy mayor recently warned that “no one is safe” from a bedbug infestation, fueling anxiety among residents of the French capital and people planning to travel there.

It is for this reason that all international sports events that are scheduled to be hosted by France should be be moved from France due to the health risk posed by infestation of bed bugs.
