British tourist awarded $375,000 after suffering hundreds of bed bug bites at infested Hollywood Hills home

The tourist, Meshak Moore, at first believed the marks on his body were from mosquito bites, but four weeks after waking up with itchy welts on his skin he discovered his mattress was infested with hundreds of bugs and nests that he recorded in a video he submitted as evidence.

“I’ve been sleeping in this for a month, getting bitten,” he is heard saying in the video when he discovered the bugs, according to court records filed Friday. “Look. Look.”

The arbitration decision, signed June 29 by Robert Bare, a judge with the American Arbitration Assn., came after six years of litigation between Moore and Henry Huang and Robert Norris of Bamboo Retreats LLC, the owners of the house in the 2000 block of Vasanta Way. Moore was in Los Angeles for an extended vacation, renting part of the house occupied by Huang and Norris.

Six fucking yrs. to punish a pair of corporate parasites who were extending professional courtesy to other parasites? Arbitration my ass!
Natural world: The red part is your blood. The black part is your blood turned to bedbug poop.

A bed bug feeding on human skin.
