MARY-LOUISE PARKER - PARKER'S BED BUG SCARE

PARKER'S BED BUG SCARE

Actress MARY-LOUISE PARKER is itching to find out what kind of insects have infested her home - she's called in bed bug specialists after her son appeared with suspicious bites.
The Weeds star is convinced she's fallen victim to the bed bug outbreak in New York and is packing up her belongings to have her home combed for creatures and sterilised.
And she admits she's terrified her home has been taken over by the tiny bloodsuckers.
Parker says, "I've had a bit of a bed bug scare... It's rampant. They don't burrow into your body but they get into your life and they get everywhere. It's really horrible. They have a service where they bring the dog to your house... it walks all around the house and wherever it senses the bed bugs it sits down. You put all over your stuff in this pod and it's fumigated and 12 days later you get your pod back. They can infiltrate to the rest of your world. I could be covered in large red welts. They bite, they suck your blood.
It's pending. I don't know (if we have them). My son has three bites on his arm... it's not in the pod yet but if the dog sits enough times (we'll know)."
