A young woman’s romantic getaway with her partner was wrecked by bloody bed sheets, and horrific bites caused by a bed bug infestation.

Nicola Stone, 20, was left covered head to toe in itchy bites that left her unable to even hold hands with other half Jerry during their trip to Lisbon, Portugal.

The couple could not sleep and Nicola, from South Queensferry, near Edinburgh, was forced to ditch her summer clothes and flip-flops and cover up for the 10-day sunshine break.

Two days in, she woke up at the Hello Lisbon Santos Apartments with a “pin-prick” rash on one arm but dismissed it, while the following morning, she awoke covered in the excruciating bites.

A pharmacist told her they were bed bug bites and she was given antihistamines and cream to stop the itch.

Nicola told the Daily Record : “It was itchy, painful and hot.http://hubtiva.com/2017/01/23/couples-romantic-getaway-left-in-tatters-as-bloody-sheets-and-bed-bug-infestation-leaves-woman-covered-in
