PONTIAC, Mich. – A Pontiac woman accidentally set herself on fire while using rubbing alcohol to torch her car because there were bed bugs inside, police said. Deputies with the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office were called at 1:39 p.m. Tuesday to the 1200 block of Perry Street because of a car fire. Officials said a 31-year-old Pontiac woman who owned the car had a panic attack because there were bed bugs inside. She decided to kill the bed bugs by pouring rubbing alcohol inside the car and lighting it on fire, according to authorities. In the process of torching the car, the woman accidentally set herself on fire, police said. She suffered second-degree burns and was taken to McLaren Oakland Hospital for treatment, according to officials.
The Fire Department is investigating.
I put my lunch at the dashboard at 9AM. By lunchtime it’s so hot you need gloves to pick it up.
It takes up to a year to completely disrupt bedbugs’ lifecycle. They’re hardy little things.
I onl do that for spiders.
So... How did the bedbugs get into her car?
Have heard of similar when some low-life tries to get rid of crabs.
Because Raid just wasn’t an option. 🙄
