Since I spent the time for my own knowledge I thought it might be a service to share it with you all. According to what I have found in the Tucson local news, bed bugs, black mold, virulent and deadly influenza, recent food service safety issues and others are all to be considered and avoided during your stay during the show - and other. Although none of these potential problems should NOT stop you from attending it is wise be aware and take precautions. Welcome to Tucson! Enjoy the 2018 show! ------- Bed Bugs- Take note that they not only attack and bite while in bed or on sofa but even worse THEY CAN TRAVEL HOME WITH YOU in your luggage or clothing. If you are unfortunate and they travel back to your house you may be looking at thousands of dollars to rid your house of them- bed, sofa, carpets. One website suggests that you do not store your luggage inside your hotel room or to dispose of luggage outside your home upon return.
