My husband and I rented the condo Oct 11-17th to celebrate our anniversary. We couldn’t check in until Monday the 12th because there was no electricity due to the hurricane. When we woke up Tues morning, my husband’s hand was red and swollen. We were unsure why and kept an eye on it. Wednesday he began to itch on his arms and hands. We went to Walmart and bought antihistamines topical & oral. Thurs, we noticed bites on his arms and hands. We inspected the mattress and found bed bugs. We contacted the owner Dr. George and he sent out some people to look. They confirmed bed bugs and sprayed our suitcases then we packed all of our stuff and went to another one of his properties. My husbands reaction became more severe so I continued washing our clothes and blankets constantly. On Fri, Oct 16th our anniversary, we went to urgent care due to the severe reaction. He received a shot and three prescriptions for medications. These bites went on all week. My husband was miserable, couldn’t do anything or go anywhere. The sun caused irritation to the bites, so he stayed in the room. I went to the ocean one time. My body didn’t react to the bites until days later. Dr. George communicated with us and was sorry for what happened. My point is to not blame him but to educate people to inspect the mattress. We appreciated Dr. George sending some laundry detergent, a box of chocolates & offering 2 free nights but if proper inspections and procedures were taken, this could have been prevented.
