Can you get bedbugs from using public laundromats?

With all the scare about bedbugs, I was wondering, if you were to use a public laundromat after someone who has an infestation, is it possible your clothes could get infested as well, or would they die in the water or heat of the dryer?

David N is correct. The common table is the likely spot for Bedbugs to hide. Bedbugs die after some exposure to 113F and eggs talk slightly longer. The high settings in dyers is much higher then this so they will die very quickly.
I recently had to treat a laundromat for this very thing…..under the tables.
Yes. The eggs could survive inadequate washing or drying, but you would be more likely to pick them up live from a common table where dirty laundry was sorted.
Keep your mattress wrapped in heavy plastic and you will have little trouble with bedbugs. The heavy plastic keeps them from nesting.
yes you can but they dont like heat !!
Yes, you can also bring them home on your clothing while shopping in a crowded store.
Yes the eggs are alive,and if not hot enough temp to kill them well,hey sorry you got them,also a good way to pick up any kind of head lice,scabies.etc..be careful and dry hot hot hot,heat does kill these things,but a lot of heat..
Yes, we cam get bedbugs from using public laundromats.
