The tourist, Meshak Moore, believed for weeks that the bites may have been caused by mosquitos, until he discovered a mattress infested with hundreds of bugs and nests.
A British tourist was awarded $375,000 after he suffered hundreds of bed bug bites all over his body during his stay at a Hollywood Hills home, according to court records.
“This case was a beast,” said Moore’s attorney, Brian Virag, who said it extended over two years after going through two rounds of arbitration. Moore initially believed the bites were from mosquitoes and began to close the windows of the home to keep them out, but according to court records “the bites got worse and worse, and by the end of the first week, there were approximately 100 bites.”
Moore was treated at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where doctors noted the bites covered his body, including his penis. It took three years of using creams and lotions, Moore testified, for the scars to blend to a point where they were no longer visible. The owners of the property also said that, had they been alerted to the bites earlier, they would have addressed the situation before it got out of hand.
