ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Two Swiss businesswomen who spent a week at Manhattan's Hotel Pennsylvania in September have filed a lawsuit saying they had a lousy time trying to sleep because they were bitten by bedbugs.

Not enough dead skin coming off 'em so they started feeding off their live skin. I say they need to take less showers. Let the bedbugs eat all that dead skin for them instead of scrubbing it off.

Remember, BEDBUGS ARE YOUR FRIENDS.

I read in other articles that bedbugs are becoming problems in 5-star hotels, not just flophouses!

Not the best choices of hotels here if you ask me.

Oh eww. Have you ever SEEN a bedbug? Something about them makes my skin crawl. Those things better not make a comeback, or I'll be sleeping with a flamethrower.

That's just so gross. Now I'll be paranoid whenever I stay in a hotel next.

I think that you might be thinking about Dust Mites. Dust mites eat dead skin. Bed Bugs on the other hand suck blood.

Awww, he needs a shave. :-(

 

[crazyfingers]

Cool.

Ya. Well, maybe.

Last winter I kept getting what my Dr. thought was a sinus infection. It kept coming back after repeated antibiotics treatments.

I eventually saw a specialist and was diagnosed as allergic to dust mites. Actually dust mite droppings.

He said that about 40% of the population is allergic to dust mite droppings to some degree and have different reactions. My reaction is a stuffy nose. I suppose it could be worse.

The Pennsylvania has been a dump for a long time, so I'm very willing to believe that it's infested with vermin.

These ain't microscopic. Here's a pic of "Bedbug, Cimex lectularius, approx. 5mm in length".
