In case you have noticed, we’re hearing an awful lot about bedbugs lately. Case in point: An Ellicott City, Maryland, couple has filed suit against their apartment complex’s owners for $500,000 for “significant emotional distress” resulting from one very wicked bedbug infestation. Orville Brown Jr. and Rebecca Brown say they and their toddler daughter were forced to move out of their apartment and throw out most of their belongings because the bedbug infestation was so severe. The lawsuit says the Browns were told that bedbugs had been found in an adjacent apartment and that their apartment would be treated as a precaution. They claim that treatment never occurred. All three suffered red, itchy welts and Rebecca is undergoing psychological therapy to deal with the trauma of the infestation.
