    Bedbugs kill woman, caretaker faces charges

    OMG!! can you even imagine the infestation it would have to be to kill a person and how that woman suffered before she died.

    This wasnt a caretaker it was a murderer and torturer, DEATH SENTENCE.


    A Pennsylvania woman died last year from bedbug bite complications. The insects had invaded the care facility where she was housed.
    Now, the woman's 72-year-old caretaker Deborah Butler faces felony charges including involuntary manslaughter and neglect of care.



    Last February, West Manheim Township Police entered the southern Pennsylvania home and noticed the bed bugs. They crawled on walls and along ledges. They scurried on the bed sheets and pillow where an elderly woman slept in a first-floor room. She told officers she was blind, but could "feel them crawling." Sometimes, she added, they bit her, too.

    Paramedics, police said, would later check on that woman, but did not notice any visible injuries. Police said another woman, 96-year-old Mary Stoner, was staying at the home. Two weeks after the visit, Stoner was dead.

    An autopsy determined her cause of death was from "complications of sepsis followed by bed bug infestation," according to charging documents.
    Is your city crawling with bed bugs?




    Stoner's family moved her out of Butler's home on Feb. 3, 2016, after noticing her health worsen. During previous visits, Stoner's family told police she was in good health. On Feb. 6, Stoner was brought to the emergency room, where doctors found sores on her skin. Staff members were under the opinion the woman's infection was a result of bed bug bites.
    Stoner was discharged from the hospital about a week later, only to be readmitted again. Doctors said she had pneumonia.
    She died a week later.
    The women, police said, stayed with Butler at her home. Butler provided food, shelter, clothing as well as personal and health care. Both women paid for the care services, documents state.

    There needs to be a tent over that place pronto. Smells like an X-File.

    I've never seen a bed bug, or, if I did, I didn't realize it.

    I hope to never see one.

    Same, but im told every house has bedbugs, no matter how clean. I was also told dryer sheets like bounce under your mattress helps. My wife said wth do we have to lose, so I put them under the mattress covers and under the mattress and in our pillow cases. Who knows if it even works

    Seriously? Thanks for the dryer sheet tip -- I'll do that!

    I'm not fan of bugs. Especially spiders! We treat the house/garage/barn with Tempo -- it's an Ag-strength product that (supposedly) cuts way down on pesky critters. Although it claims that it's pet-safe, we're very careful not to apply it anywhere pets could come into contact. I've seen some darned big spiders around here. Eek!

    Lately, the problem has been mice. Getting in the garage and chewing on automobile wires. My sister, who lives about 1/2 mile away, had to call the HVAC guy Friday because mice had chewed through her furnace wires.

    I have good mousers, too, but we put out some have-a-heart-type traps. I don't want to kill the little buggers, but I do want to relocate them far away.

    Hmmm....I'm thinking I better go strip the beds and examine them now...
