The Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim, California is paying one woman $100,000 to settle her lawsuit claiming that she was bitten by bed bugs during her stay and suffered a serious rash as a result.
Dr. Ivy Eldridge claimed in her 2018 lawsuit that she suffered physical and emotional damage after waking up with bedbug bites during her stay at the Disneyland Hotel in April of that year.
She accused the hotel staff of knowing that it had a bedbug issue and failing to notify her about the infestation prior to her stay, according to the suit filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
The lawsuit also notes that Eldridge, a vice principal at a Riverside, California, school, 'endured many sleepless nights and much emotional and mental distress, coupled with other physical conditions associated with severe mental and emotional distress.'
She claimed she received costly medical treatment after developing a rash over her entire body when the bugs 'sucked her blood until they were gorged,' and had to take time off of work to endure these treatments.
Photos included in the lawsuit showed welts and bite marks on Eldridge's shoulders, neck back and ears.
Now, four years later, TMZ reports, the Disneyland Hotel has agreed to pay Eldridge $100,000 for the damages she incurred.
Her attorney, Brian Virag from the firm MyBedBugLawyer, Inc., claimed at the time that the hotel 'did not provide a bedbug-free hotel room.'

4 years.
Hope they paid her legal fees too for dragging it out.
Should have listened to her mother when she said, “Don’t let the bedbugs bite.”
Disney police probably cover up the bedbug attacks because of the company's special self-governing privilege given to them 50 years ago by the legislature.
That is gonna change. There will be bedbug reckoning in Florida going forward. The covers are about to be blown off.
Count on it.
Better than being bit by an Orlando alligator

But that’s ok, these types are only hired by ‘those schools’, you know, the ones on the other side of the tracks, can NEVER happen in the Wonderful public schools that I send my kids to. Nope, never. No way. Not happening...I think.
In any case, if I have to pay for the education of my kids, then I can’t have the nice house with all of the toys, and that is FAR MORE IMPORTANT to me...so if my schools hire nutcases like her, that’s not my problem, it’s my kids’ problem, so why should I care?
I read somewhere that taking Zinc will kill them. Some might have to take Zinc a few times, but it will wipe them out.
The riff raff that goes in and out Disneyland would be of no surprise to me, that someone would get bugs. Now did that
Now, did she deserve that kind of settlement? Probably not, but they don’t need anymore bad publicity. California is falling apart.

I got bitten by bedbugs at a hotel in Chattanooga and ended up sleeping on the chair for a few hours until it was time to leave. Just horrific.
When I left the next morning, I notified the employee at the front desk who picked up a walkie talkie and told housekeeping there were ‘unauthorized guests’ in my room - apparently code for bed bugs.
Another flight attendant was staying in Florida and was covered with so many bites she had to go to the ER. The hotel denied the bites came from their hotel.
Pull the sheets back and look - be careful or you could bring an infestation to your house.
If zinc did kill them, they would still have to bite you to ingest the zinc, a few times, and you hope it stops them breeding in the meanwhile...
At least they won’t get Covid.
One of my editors traveled extensively. At a notional chain motel, he was given a room where the bedbugs attacked the ticks in the bed.
Always pull back the covers and check.
