What's the meaning?

Some poster said, "I wouldn't wish bed bugs on my worst enemy." What does he mean? I thought we were supposed to wish something bad on our enemies.

"People will live out of ziploc bags (airtight, bed bugs can't crawl into them)
to ensure they don't spread the bed bugs to their offices, stores, etc". What's the meaning of living out of something here?

Thanks a million!

It means that they are so horrible that even your worst enemy would not deserve them. To wish them on him would be an evil act beyond your capabilities. " Everything you need for life comes out of that suitcase.
