A woman claims she was bitten by a bed bug as she waited for her friend to recover from surgery at a Columbus, Ohio, hospital, according to an article on the ABC6 website.
But getting these bites wasn't the worst part. The woman said Mount Carmel West Hospital staff didn't tell people in the waiting room what was going on.
"If they were thinking about safety and their patients' family they would've notified the people in the room that had the bed bugs before sending them to an ICU waiting room,” she said.
The hospital said their environmental services team only found one bug and destroyed it. Then they called Orkin to treat the area right away.
