Sure, Blame Your Booty Issues On The Bedbugs . . .
A Chicago woman is suing a Catskills resort for $20 million* after being bitten by bedbugs:
Leslie Fox spent four days at the Nevele Grande Resort with her husband, and woke up on the last day covered with hideous red marks.
“I was horrified to see all of these bites all over my body. I had no idea what was happening,” the Chicago woman said.
She yanked the sheets off the bed, overturned the mattress and found an infestation of tiny bedbugs.
Fox, 54, scooped one of the little bloodsuckers up in a film canister and took it to Ellenville Regional Hospital, where doctors confirmed her suspicions.
“The inflammation, the itching — my skin felt as if it was on fire. I wanted to tear it off.”
Fox’s lawyer, Alan Schnurman, has filed a $20 million lawsuit against the hotel in Brooklyn federal court.
The suit seeks compensation for personal injury and “loss of consortium” plus punitive damages.
*That’s $0.02 billion!
