Sharon, 65, fled the hotel after being bitten and capturing an insect in one of the hotel cups
A holidaymaker left with 200 bed bug bites is still scarred from her ordeal a month on - amid fears an outbreak in France is spreading to the UK. Sharon Haslam, 65, said the insects had left a “big red” blotch on her face and arms and now fears the blemishes may “never go away”.
Now she has warned others of the dangers of the pests as fears grow they're already on the march from Paris, prompting a deep clean of seats on London's tube network. She said: “Some of the bites have turned into purple marks. I don’t know if they are going to go – I think going to be marked all down my arm.
Fears were first raised last week as it emerged Paris had been hit with a plague of the insects that feed on the blood of animals and humans. Passengers on the London Underground and buses Manchester have reported seeing the creepy-crawlies on public transport. Sharon said: “When we woke up, my friend pulled her sheets back and noticed there was blood. We thought ‘Where has that come from?’ Then we found mine also had specs of blood all over the sheets as well. It took us ten minutes to work it out.
Marian was prescribed strong antibiotics, antihistamine tablets and creams - after doctors feared the bites could lead to an infection. She added: “As soon as I arrived home, my partner took my luggage to the tip.
