Poverty and rising cost of pesticides have evolved a novel method of debugging. Hotel owners along the highways in Bengal (India) have found a novel way to keep bedbugs away from their regular customers. Owners here recruit poor people who lie on each bed of hotel completely nude for half an hour; to let the bedbugs feed on their blood. Once the bugs are satiated, they do not bite the customers who use these beds to relax during the day. Once a bed is thus ‘debugged’, the human debugger shifts to another bed. He is paid two rupees (Rs. 45=1 dollar) for every bed he debugs that way.
What do you feel about it???
