Eurostar introduces preventative measures amid Paris bedbug surge
Eurostar has said trains on its Paris-London service will have "Preventative measures" in place amid bedbug outbreaks in the French capital. French social media users have posted videos of bugs found on the Paris train network in recent weeks. A Eurostar spokesperson said: "The safety and wellbeing of our customers is always our number one priority, and the presence of insects, such as bedbugs, on our trains is extremely rare." Prof Hentley, an academic with the University of Sheffield's school of biosciences, told BBC London bedbugs are already "Fairly prevalent" in the UK and the situation in Paris would be unlikely to have much additional impact. Bedbugs have been on the rise globally, the BBC's Paris correspondent Hugh Schofield reports, with factors such as international trade and travel being blamed.
