Paris is in a battle against bedbugs. Officials are working to tamp down the problem after numerous reported sightings around the French capital.
“No one is safe,” Paris deputy mayor Emmanuel Grégoire said Friday on X, formerly Twitter. He called for “coordinated measures" between health authorities and other stakeholders and has asked Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne to organize a conference on the fight against the insects. French Transport Minister Clement Beaune also said he would bring transit operators together to discuss the problem this week, aiming to “reassure and protect.”
Videos on social media appear to show the insects, which feed on the blood of humans and animals, crawling around everywhere from high-speed trains to buses. They have also been reported in cinemas and at Charles de Gaulle Airport.

A proposed ruling filed from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration could mean bans on some chemical hair-smoothing and straightening products that have been linked to cancer.
The FDA has proposed a rule banning formaldehyde and other formaldehyde-releasing chemicals from being used in hair-smoothing and straightening products sold in the U.S.
The use of such chemicals has been linked to long-term health concerns, including an increased risk of cancer, according to the FDA. They can also cause short-term health risks, including sensitization reactions and breathing problems, the agency says.
Before an FDA proposal can become an official rule, the agency takes comments from the public and then may "decide to end the rulemaking process, to issue a new proposed rule, or to issue a final rule," the agency's site says.
