27 Aug 2024
Never in my life have I been so decimated by bug bites. I went to bed around midnight and woke up two hours later with bites all over my arms, legs and chest. The hotel transferred me to another room in the middle of the night (around 3 am). Later they said they'd do an inspection.
They concluded that there were no signs of bug bites and offended no compensation. However, visits to multiple doctors and dermatologist have other opinions.
I was in pain for about a week before taking various steroids and medicines. Now I am dealing with body scars from the bite attacks.
