The insects left “big red” blotches all over Sharon Haslam's body
A woman who suffered 200 bed bug bites after staying at a hotel fears the marks on her skin may "never go away".
They'd 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. Sharon said when they arrived the lobby and their room seemed clean and tidy, with no indication there could be a bed bug problem. 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. But when they got home, she said the bite marks kept reappearing.
Sharon said they’d now received a full refund from their travel agency Booking.com, along with £100 in compensation, but still felt scarred from the experience. "And in total honesty, it’s made me paranoid. If I get up to go to the toilet in the night, normally I would just go to the loo with the light off.
