I first experienced bed bugs in NYC

Posted on 5:57 AM by Unknown

I had long thought bed bugs were a part of nursery rhyme folklore but, noooo, those suckers are real. And vicious! I first experienced a dose of them in NYC when I stayed a week in this hotel on 8th Avenue. Good God! I didn't grow up with them and didn't know what the #@%! to make of the insects...but I soon learned to sleep covered up from neck to toe!!

Now the U.S.A. is experiencing an "outbreak" of bed bugs.

It wasn't me!
