bed bugs

I stayed at a super cheap hotel in the Myanzi area of Bujumbura, Burundi for only Burundian Fr 6,000 (less than $5) per night. The result is, after the first night I already had about 50 bites on me from bed bugs. During the second night, I would wake up every half hour or so and comb the bed sheet to find and kill any bed bugs that I could see. Some were big, some were small. But they all had one thing in common, whenever I crushed one to death against the bed sheet, there would be first a popping sound, then followed by a blood stain on the sheet. My blood!

I must have killed over 2 dozen of them last night! :(
