My ankle was bitten up while I was sleeping.
Cons:

While sleeping, my ankle was bitten up by bugs. The pain woke me up at 3 am and I could not go back to sleep. My ankle has red inflamed bug bites on it. The pain came every 43 seconds. When I checked out, I told the lady at the desk what happened. She said she was sorry. I was very upset because I am a diabetic and never been bitten by anything while sleeping.
