MSNBC's Manhattan headquarters at 30 Rockefeller Plaza was hit by a bed bug infestation, identified as cimex lectularius, causing a scramble among staffers just hours before the network's Super Tuesday election coverage. Reports indicate that the infestation led to the evacuation of staff and the borrowing of an unused local studio for some shows, as studio space became tight. An NBC source confirmed that exterminators were brought in to treat the studio, green rooms, and control room. The situation has prompted comments linking the infestation to broader issues of hygiene and immigration.
