Twice recently while I have been thrifting in NYC, once on 23rd Street and once on lower 2nd Avenue, I have discovered an insect crawling on an item of clothing I was examining. In the most recent incident, it looked an awful lot like a bedbug. Clearly, importing a bedbug into the home would not have been worth it.
Of course, in any environment where clothing I may be interested in will be hung cheek by jowl with other clothing from different homes, there is inevitably this risk. In an era where head lice and bed bugs seem to be on the rise, I ma beginning to question whether I will thrift nearly as much.
Have others had similar experiences and, if so, what have you decided?
