CLEVELAND, Ohio -- As if just being in court isn't already enough to make you squirm.

Bed bugs have been discovered in the Cuyahoga County Justice Center, Common Pleas Court officials said in a news release Monday evening. The justice center houses numerous government offices including the Common Pleas Court, the county jail, the county and city clerk of courts, County Council chambers and others.

The areas in question have been treated and workers were advised of the discovery and provided with instruction on the prevention and treatment of bed bugs, according to court officials. Court officials also brought in "bed bug experts" Monday afternoon in a meeting that was open to any interested personnel, according to the news release.

"Unfortunately, no office is totally safe from the potential for bed bugs or any other pests," read the statement, issued by Common Pleas Court spokesman Darren Toms.

There's good news though.

The bed bugs found in the building were not an "infestation" -- rather, they were isolated incidents, according to the court.

The Justice Center isn't the only county building where bed bugs have been discovered recently. In early December, a few bed bugs were discovered in the Whitlatch Building, 1910 Carnegie Ave., which is the temporary home of the Board of Revisions, among other county services.

In that case also, the bed bugs were found to be temporary guests and not permanent residents, according to county officials.
