Bedbugs are taking over New York.
A new Daily News-Marist poll suggests that The City That Never Sleeps is probably too busy itching: One in 10 New Yorkers has now battled bedbugs in their home.
That's twice as many as the city estimated were plagued by the pests in 2009.
The poll results suggest that more than 800,000 New Yorkers have had bloodsucking bedbugs crawling in their sheets.
"I got all chewed up," said Margaret Martinez, 61, of the Bronx, one of the 11% of poll respondents who reported having personal run-ins with the tiny bloodthirsty insects.
"I woke up and I had bites all over my arms and my face. I was all swollen," she said.
From swanky glass lofts to creaky tenement walkups, the plague of parasites appears to have spread fairly evenly across the five boroughs.

Apparently they act like Dems.
Pray for America
Is this why the White House West Wing is covered, bed bugs?
All those vacations and travel? Hmmm....
Now that CNN Time Warner building got hit with bedbugs it’s a national story....

Uh-huh, this town's full of money grabbers
Go ahead, bite the Big Apple, don't mind the maggots, huh
Shadoobie, my brain's been battered
Could be, could be. Still, CNN’s been infected with louses and parasites for a long time, as there’s precious little difference between liberals and bedbugs.
I stay out of hotels if at all possible.....
their cleaning standards are not up to mine.....
Can you find a picture of a bedbug so we can judge it’s relative size. One next to a penny, or a ruler, a grain of rice or something like that?
Their guest lists probably aren’t either.
Good. This brings a smile to my face, and I hope that the problem gets much, much worse for these preening, unctuous twits in New York.
It doesn’t rise to the level of pest that they’ve inflicted on westerners with the reintroduction of the wolf, but it is a start. Hopefully, we can re-introduce wolves to the east very soon. I expect that wolves would do very well in areas like NJ and NY. Then these clowns can be eaten in their beds, and if they survive that, they can make a dash for their car, bus or train in the morning.
Wow - New Yorkers are so much more sophisticated and wiser than those of us in flyover country. I wonder what benefit they see in having bedbugs that we just don’t understand. To paraphrase - “It’s a New Yorker Thing. You Wouldn’t Understand.”
Perfect! Thanks!
