The recent presence of bed bugs in University City and other schools, as well as on public transport, have generated a wave of memes and reactions from social media users.
Netflix Latin America is the brand that has most recently joined the trend to make fun of the bugs that are causing problems in Mexico and France.
On its TikTok account, the streaming platform used a fragment of its popular series Orange Is the New Black where the characters face an infestation of bedbugs in the prison where they are serving their sentence.
“Honestly, I don’t know what’s going on,” Netflix wrote in the caption of its video.
One of the characters with the legend “Paris” says “They do not live in the body, only in the sheets, the clothes (…), so now we must wash everything.” For his part, another character with the label “CDMX” responds “Wait, did you hit me?”

Bedbugs in CDMX
Last Monday, September 18, the Mexico City Metro denied that there was a bedbug infestation in the Line A facilities, after users complained on social networks. However, that same night the wagons were fumigated both in the La Paz workshops and in the Pantitlán maneuvering area.
By September 27, the students of Cetis 9 began to demand that the institution’s authorities properly clean their campus due to a bedbug infestation. They even closed Eje Central avenue with the aim of claiming different requests.
Subsequently, reports of bed bug sightings and pickets began to emerge in various UNAM schools. These began at Ciudad Universitaria in Chemistry, as well as at the Faculty of Higher Studies (FES).
“French bed bugs”
According to Reuters, Paris has declared an emergency due to an infestation of these insects that are found in homes on high-speed trains, the subway and even at Charles de Gaulle airport.
It should be remembered that the Olympic Games will be held in the City of Light next year.
