“We started to look around the floor and found droplets of blood, and then I found a live bed bug'
A woman fears the blemishes on her face and arms left by 200 bed bug bites may “never go away” after she was attacked by the insects in a Blackpool hotel.
Sharon said her and Marian made a last minute booking at the hotel for two nights, costing £170, so they could join eight friends for a birthday bash in the resort town on September 8. The 65-year-old said they’d now received a full refund from their travel agency Booking.com, along with £100 in compensation, but still feel scarred from the experience.
“If I get up to go to the toilet in the night, normally I would just go to the loo with the light off. Now I will turn the lights on and check the bed. They live under skirting boards, and they lay their eggs in the seam of the mattress. And Luton Council this week issued a warning to residents it was receiving an 'alarming' number of bed bug jobs.
"Then we found mine also had specs of blood all over the sheets as well. It took us ten minutes to work it out. We started to look around the floor and found droplets of blood, and then I found a live bed bug. I captured it in a little cup.Marian said they had immediately left the hotel and doused themselves in bug spray, before finding alternative accommodation to stay in for their next night.
