Via Mission Mission, a Yelper took it upon herself to warn fellow customers of a local bookstore that she had allegedly gotten bed bug bites while sitting and reading Twilight in one of their comfy armchairs. [Update: We have no evidence she was reading Twilight -- we were just subtly riffing off of Mission Mission's sarcasm -- SFist.]

We have to agree with a couple of the respondents of these allegations: How does this person know for sure if they were actual bed bug bites and if that's where they picked up the bed bugs? Bites often don't show up for days afterwards (or sometimes minutes/hours) and are often confused with flea or mosquito bites. And, is it fair to sully this establishment's name?

Regardless, it's always good to be aware that bed bugs lurk all over the place.

Having experienced bed bug woes ourselves, we are sure to pay attention to where we lay our heads and bodies everywhere we go now. Luckily for us, our bed bug infestation went away without too much effort or stress on our part. Our landlord had the place sprayed a couple of times, which we hear doesn't usually work, but it did for us. Hooray! (And yes, we were able to catch a couple of bed bugs to confirm that's what we had.)
