Think twice at your next visit in a hotel

I have seen patients recently who believe they have become infected from staying in a hotel while traveling or vacationing.

Is this possible?

The recent patient I saw was diagnosed with a mite infestation and bites that I believe were a type of bedbug. This very likely was acquired in a hotel.

The take home message from this video is not to drink from glassware left in the rooms of the hotel. Disposable cups may not be as fancy, but they certainly are more sanitary.
