Bedbugs found in basement of the Empire State Building

NEW YORK — It survived the Depression, a bomber crash and King Kong's climb, but can the Empire State Building withstand a bedbug infestation? Officials say exterminators had to clean out an employee changing room in the tower's basement after bedbugs were found there last week.
The officials tell The New York Daily News that an employee had the bedbugs on his clothes and brought them into the building, but that the problem is now under control.
Tourists visiting the skyscraper say they are disgusted by the bloodsucking pests.
Bedbugs have been discovered recently in New York City theaters, clothing stores, office buildings, housing projects and posh apartments.
The city fielded 11,000 complaints about bedbugs last year.

Crazy stuff.

I had bedbugs in a hotel in Cairns, Australia once. Had a rash for half the vacation. Wasn't fun.

At least our resort at Ayers Rock had a clinic, that saved me from even more itchiness.

Gross. But I guess that's what you get in a big city, with all of those people.
Just one of the many reasons I won't be moving to New York anytime soon. :P
