Lets Talk About skin Care, Beauty And Health Tips

Is it the landlords responsibility to take care of bed bugs when it is the tenants who have brought them into an apartment. This is in Medford Massachusetts. Most likely brought into the apartment by people who might have been living there without actually being part of the lease.

Answer
The landlord will be responsible for spraying for pests. He or she is not responsible for replacing your bed or removing the bugs from your bed. Bed bugs eat dried flaked off skin. They will, when there are enough, climb on top of you at night and start eating, just like mesquito's do.

The best way to get rid of them is to remove your matress and discard (not at your apartment dump--then clean your car with shampoo and pest spray. Have the apartment sprayed before buying a new mattress. Bed bugs can travel, so other beds are probably infected, and you will have to make a call as to whether to replace all matresses or just one. You probably don't have to wash closet clothes--but I'm sure you will. You definetly need to wash sheets and shampoo carpet before new beds. Even if you land lord won't shampoo the carpet, they can probably arrange for an agency for about 40-60 dollars to do it for you (don't bother renting as it's about the same price and better results).

Bed bugs lay eggs so there some effort to all of this. Also eggs take 10 days to hatch, so you'll have to decide how badly you want them gone, but if you are willing to sleep on the floor and simply do a few shampooings you'll be ok as well.

Finally, I would recommend paying for a professional to help get rid of bed bugs. Your landlord is responsible for pest infestations, so then can assist with a number of issues. As for the bed--and laundry work, and shampoos, you're on your own.

The specific laws on the seriousness depends on the location. In NYC, there is a special unit in the health deparment that handles bed bug complaints in apartments. This is a tough law, with tougher enforcement, and steep fines, including the ability of the state to shut down the apartment complex.

Does a health care worker's client need to disclose whether or not they have herpes?

If you are hired without any clinical training to among other things, bathe (intimately) and clean a person (again, intimately) after they've used the toilet, for your protection, are they legally obligated by law in NYC to tell you if they have herpes?

Answer
You're not going to get herpes by doing those activities. Herpes is passed through skin contact like kissing and sexual activity.
No they are not legally obligated to tell you that they have herpes, unless you are planning on getting intimate with them.
If you're that paranoid about it though you may want to use gloves.
