Last night, actress Mary Louise Parker was on Late Show with David Letterman, revealing that she's been worrying about that feared scourge, bedbugs. But Letterman didn't seem very convinced they were a real threat, asking, "Is it that treacherous? Is it that dire?... What's the worst that can happen if you have bedbugs?" Oh, Dave, if you only knew!
Letterman wondered if they burrowed into people's skin, like ticks, and Parker explained, "They don't burrow into your body but they burrow into your life." Because her son has some bites on his arm, she hired a company to inspect her home—more specifically, a dog named "Bugsy" sniffed around (if he smells the bedbugs, he sits down). Letterman continued to question her level of concern about the critters, since they're so tiny after all, and was incredulous when Parker explained that bedbugs scurry away—"Isn't that cockroaches? You're describing cockroach behavior" and later admitting, "I wish I cared more about this," launching into his experience being bitten by a tick ("I had a 103 degree temperature...it injects parasites into your bloodstream and the parasites devour your white blood cells").





Everyone in the fancier Brooklyn nabes has 'em, but no one wants to talk about 'em. So many new couches and mattresses left on the curb to be picked up by the garbage man...
Surely David is joking about the situation. If not, maybe if his home gets a case of the clap he will realize it's not funny at all.
does having pets increase your bedbug porfolio cause I've lived in manhattan for 25 years and never even seen a bedbug much less a bite.
Haha, it's LATE SHOW with David Letterman. There's a huge marquee on Broadway. In New York City. The city you cover. It's like calling Katz's Cats's.
She's pretty hot for an old chick.
"They don't burrow into your body but they burrow into your life." Mary Louise Parker said that so nonchalantly. Haha.
Oh Dave, Dave, Dave!
You have no idea of the troubles and costs these little @!$ will do. I can only imagine the cost to exterminate your home. Best of luck to you. They love New York.
