So, do bed bugs get in clothes? Yes, but usually for transportation, not habitation. They’re like the world’s worst hitchhikers—they hop in for a ride, not to build a nest. Your laundry pile is a bus stop, not a new home for them.
The biggest lesson here: Never assume your clothes are a safe bubble. If you’ve been somewhere suspicious (a hotel, a bus seat, a friend’s house with a used couch), toss your outer layer into the dryer right when you get home. Not in the laundry basket—into the hot dryer. That single habit could save you from a very itchy, very expensive headache. Now go hug your hoodie, but maybe check the seams first.
