Meet the "microcomrades"

When one gains admission into public universities, it is clearly stipulated in the rules that cohabiting in the halls of residence is a crime. Contravening this rule attracts punitive punishment from the administration. Whilst the aforementioned rule applies to date, there seems to have emerged a natural phenomenon, in the recent past that violates it word by word.

 Sources from two renowned public universities indicate that students who reside in university hostels have come to accept bedbugs or “microcomrades” as they are popularly referred to in the academic arena, as fellow roommates. In fact, word has it that these folks have even deliberated on the amount of blood that these “micromonsters” can suck from them in a given night. For those who don't know bed bugs, they are parasitic insects of the cimicidae family that feed exclusively on blood. Cimex lectularius, the common bed bug, is the best known as it prefers to feed on human blood.
