READ MORE: Bedbug Cases On Pace to Triple in NYC Public Schools | NBC New York: "The parasitic pests have thrived in the winter season, it appears, with 80 percent of cases having been reported during November, December and January.
'It's just an outbreak and I don't know how they can stop it,' said Wendy Tatum, a mother at PS 54 in Bedford-Stuyvesant, one of hundreds of schools to have had at least one confirmed case.
The Dept. of Ed is required to record any incidents where an infestation is found, but spokesperson Marge Feinberg said this uptick in cases is fueled not by infestations but by individual students who come to school with bedbugs."
