That bites.
On his Sirius XM Radio show Wednesday, Howard Stern revealed that he was "scratching every minute" after bed bugs recently infested his NYC radio studio.
Fumigators arrived over the weekend, and "supposedly we're 100 percent bed bug-free," added Stern, 56, whose limousine also was home to the parasitic insects (it had to be fumigated with poison gas).

Bedbugs have been spreading all over NYC.
Nike’s tourist-friendly flagship store had to be closed because of them, as well as a popular Abercrombie & Fitch shop and a Times Square theater.

Stern jokingly blamed the sudden bedbug epidemic on the 1972 U.S. ban of synthetic pesticide DDT.
"Now they're back!," Stern said of the bedbugs. "Because of hippies with their ... DDT-inhibition!"
Tell Us What You Think
6What does a bedbug look like? I think I see one here at my place. It's about five foot three, nude from the waist up and wearing panties.
Wealthy people have the final solution for their bedbug problem, their homes are turned into a hot box and the bugs and eggs are destroyed in a few hours. People with small incomes need to learn how to sweat out the bedbugs with high temperatures, but they must be careful not to throw out the baby with the bathwater by burning down their home.
Actually, Bedbugs are resistant to DDT as mentioned in the bed-bugs-handbook. What happened to Howard Stern is happening all over NYC.
ern jokingly blamed the sudden bedbug epidemic on the 1972 U.S. ban of synthetic pesticide DDT. What a stupid remark. He should thank the people who banned DDT and began the long road back from environmental destruction. Shame on HS - I miss him terribly, but disagree with some dumb things he says.
You sure its bed bugs and not lice?
He might wanna have that mop head of his checked out.....
