That's why the word "lawyer" is prominently in the title. Since bedbugs are also in NY, would seem to be to be difficult to prove where the biting took place. Hope this lawyer Bluming and his lawyer Weinstein lose.
Normal, even hygenic housekeeping will not prevent bedbugs. Bedbugs are caused by human travel. DDT used to be a good cure.
He will probably commission Barry Scheck and Co. to do DNA analysis on the bed bugs to prove they unequivocally came from the UK and not NYC. Insects of a feather.
