Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a bed bug protective garment that can be worn by a user. The garment wraps around the user's arms, legs, and torso and has a closure mechanism that can be closed to secure the garment. Additionally, the garment has a hood portion with a face mask that can be closed and secured to the hood using a second closure mechanism. The second closure mechanism overlaps with the first closure mechanism, creating a double lock that further prevents bed bugs from entering the garment. This invention provides better protection against bed bugs for users.

Problems solved by technology

Bed bugs cause a number of adverse health effects resulting from bites such as skin rashes, allergic reactions, and psychological effects.
When a lodging becomes infested with bed bugs it is very difficult to eradicate them because they are hard to locate and are resistant to many types of pesticides.
