Taking a Stand Against Bedbugs
A woman practically eaten alive by bedbugs--in our opinion anyways--has sued the New York resort that was infested with these most disgusting creatures.
The scene of the crime was the Nevele Hotel in the Catskill Mountains of upstate New York.
[Leslie Fox] said she noticed the lesions when she got up after their third night at the hotel.
"I was horrified to see all of those bites all over my body," Fox said....My skin felt as if it was on fire and I wanted to tear it off."
Fox suffered close to 500 bug bites. Yesterday, she held a press conference yesterday announcing she was suing the resort for $27 million as a result of the damage done to her body and mind. At the press conference she willingly showed large photos of her bug bites. (Ed. note: She has officially become the patron saint of all bed bug ninjas.)
The Nevele's lawyer has said that the hotel has not seen the lawsuit but that there has been ongoing treatment and inspection by pest control companies that will show the hotel is bug-free, at least now.
Yet bed bugs might be just the beginning of this hotel's woes. It has some of the worst reviews on TripAdvisor that we have ever seen, ranging from smelly hallways to no heat to undercooked food. Now, we feel dirty for having read some of them.
