Here is a nice article on one of humans oldest friends. Maybe this will make you paranoid next time your on vacation.

Besides embarrassing hotel managers and leaving guests itchy and squeamish, bed bugs can trigger lawsuits.

*Sigh*

Even upscale hotels are not immune to litigation
I would wager that it's the upscale hotels that are most likely to be hit with a lawsuit, as they're the ones most likely to offer a big fat out-of-court settlement to stop it going public.
Nice if you are of little morals and looking for a quick easy buck.
'Ouch! I've been bitten! Oh, no! This is terrible! I can't face going to work with a tiny bite mark on my back! In fact I'm so upset, I don't think I'll ever be able to sleep in a hotel again - and I'm a travelling salesman. Oh no! My life is ruined! The hotel had best give lots of money to comfort me in my hardship and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder."
And so on and so forth.

Ugh...........splendid. Right as I'm about to stay in hotels all across the country. God I hate bugs. Maybe we should just sleep in the mini-van. :(

In the US, there are few things that can't. :p

Did you ever see 'Four Rooms', specifically Robert Rodigeuz's segment 'The Misbehavers'?
If not, do so. It's frigging hilarious!

I was already paranoid enough about traveling and sleeping in beds where god only knows what goes on and now I have to think about this...*grabs brown paper bag and breathes deeply*

dead hookers dont bite you all over your body. That is of course they are NOT a zombie.

And nowhere near as fun as finding a live one under the bed...

You can buy bug-proof bed covers made especially for backpackers/travellers that stay in sleazy hostels.

How true man. People over here are suing becuase they got fat by eating junk food. I mean seriously, what the hell is wrong with these people?
