Bed bugs back with a bite

It seemed like a good idea at the time but Ciska White has been ruing the decision ever since.

About a month ago the 24-year-old UTS communications student picked up a mattress off the street for her new Bondi apartment.

It looked clean, felt comfortable and, she reasoned, it would save her hundreds of dollars.

But two weeks later she got a shock.

"I woke up one day and I was just covered in bites - it was like a minefield of bites. I had 71 bites just on my left hand and that wasn't even the worst part of my body," she said.

Ok, first of all, who picks up a mattress from the street? A mattress. This isn't like a dresser or anything. Oh, ick. Bed bugs are nasty critters I have never had a pleasure of encountering - and that's just fine with me. Use: australiablog to log in, with bootsnall as the password.
