Bedbugs Spread to Met Opera House! Carnegie Hall Next?

101510met.jpg Yesterday news broke that classy bedbugs with a craving for blue blood had infiltrated a dressing room at Lincoln Center's David H. Koch Theater, which is used by the New York City Ballet. Well hold onto your monocles, people: Not content with the gossamer blood of ballerinas, the parasites have branched out to the Metropolitan Opera House, where corpulent divas await. Late yesterday the Met issued a statement confirming that "bedbugs were discovered in some isolated locations but not in any public areas. There was no evidence of infestation. Those areas identified will be treated this afternoon." And we're sure that's the end of that!

    There is no suffering as great as trying to fall asleep in a mattress infested with bedbugs, they crawl from head to toe sucking the blood out of your body. Many have thrown away their furniture only to have the bugs return. Fortunes are being made by the pest control business, a person who cannot sleep will pay any amount for some relief. They are a marching army that will soon be in every mattress, a national emergency must be declared.
