Kyrie Irving says ‘5 big a** bed bugs … – SBNation.com

Posted on March 27, 2016 by admin Click Here For Article

Irving felt nauseous after barely sleeping on Saturday night before playing the Thunder.

Kyrie Irving played only nine minutes in Cleveland's decisive win against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday. When he didn't return after leaving the game in the first quarter, the Cavaliers explained his absence as "flu-like symptoms." In actuality, Irving was suffering from nausea from barely sleeping the night before after waking up to find bugs in his bed.

Wait, hold on, what!?

"I felt alright,"Irving said after the game. "Our team said I was out with flu-like symptoms. It was honestly from the bed bugs from the frickin' Hilton that we stayed at. As you can see, I got it at the top of my head, it's just like bed bugs and I didn't get any sleep. We came into the game, then I was freaked out, then I started feeling nauseous so it was just a whole bunch of BS honestly. Coming into today I got a lot of rest and felt better."

There are a lot of layers to this. Let's take it step by step.

The Skirvin Hilton, which you might recognize because it's notoriously haunted by Effie, a housekeeper who supposedly jumped from one of the top floors.The New York Times wrote about it in 2014. Most NBA teams stay at this hotel when they visit Oklahoma City.

I am a young person who still has much to learn about the ways of the world, including what exactly happens when you get bed bugs, so I asked the adults of SB Nation for help here.

"They live in the bedding -- like the mattress -- and they come out to bite you and drink blood ... but they will travel home with you in your luggage and infest your home or the next place you stay, too," Sam Eggleston told me.

"If you get bed bugs, you have to buy new everything," said Matt Ufford, noted bed bug expert.

Irving didn't say anything about buying new clothes or infecting the whole team, so maybe they weren't traditional bed bugs.

This is my theory, and let's go toThe Skirven's Yelp page for evidence. First, we should note they have a four-star rating, so most people who stay there don't have to sub out of NBA games the next day because of nausea.

Secondly, though, there's a one-star review a little ways down the page that stands out left by a one "Matt O." While it's possible Matt O. is actually Kyrie Irving, I have my doubts, mostly because Kyrie's first name is Kyrie, not Matt, and his last name doesn't start with an O.

In his very poor review of The Skirven, Matt O., who is probably not Irving, also complains about bugs. He even leaves a picture! Here it is.

(Yelp)

Ufford, noted bed bug expert, says that isn't a real bed bug. Instead, it's just a bug that was in a bed. After all, that bug is dark colored and quite large, while bed bugs are small and usually light colored. And Irving did say this about the bugs.

Irving did not actually have bed bugs. Otherwise, he would have had to burn all his clothes and pretend to be Matthew Dellavedova until they ordered him a new jersey. Instead, he just had bugs in his bed, which is understandably disturbing and a very valid reason to have trouble sleeping. I sure hope I don't have trouble sleeping tonight just because I wrote this.

Fortunately, Irving has overcome his bed bug demons andplayed better on Monday, although the Cavaliers lost anyway. Here's to an entire season where he shuts down the critics who say he will never recover from the 2016 Bed Bugs Incident.

Oh damnit. I'm itching now.

Update: The Skirven did confirm one case of reported bed bugs on Sunday,per The Oklahoman. While I still stand by my hypothesis as scientifically plausible, it seems that we might actually be dealing with a new strain of bed bugs here. Or perhaps Ufford is not the expert he led me to believe he was. Either way, I'm sure Russell Westbrook was somehow involved in this incident.

Update 2: Apparently, Irving is still haunted by those bed bugs. Like, the ghost kind of haunted:

Tenants, Landlords, Bed Bugs, And New Jersey

Posted on 02.06.15 in Bed Bugs

Determining who is responsible for a bed bugs infestation can be tricky. When these invasive parasites strike, it is easy to point fingers. But no one wins when tenants and landlords bicker over who is going to pay to have these bugs removed. Failure to remove bed bugs promptly can cause property loss and significant physical and emotional suffering to occupants. That is why NH Gov. Maggie Hassan signed a law that helps tenants and landlords find legal recourse if a bed bug infestation arises. This law, which passed through democratic-controlled House and Republican-controlled Senate, is a balanced initiative that protects both sides.

From the tenants perspective.

This New Hampshire law states that a landlord is obligated to investigate a report of infestation, within a seven day window, and take measures to remediate the infestation. This is good news for tenants because they have legal recourse if their landlord doesn't act quickly. The law also protects them if the landlord tries to unlawfully charge them for bed bugs that were pre-existing in the building when they moved in. Lawmakers will also be looking to see if these bugs are present in other apartments, and where the infestation originated. If a case can be made that the bugs were present in the apartment before the tenant moved in or that they moved in from another part of the building because of landlord neglect, the court will apply damages to the landlord.

From the landlord's perspective.

Under this New Hampshire law, if a landlord acts promptly and can prove that the origination of the infestation was the tenant's apartment, the landlord can bill the tenant for bed bug removal services. The landlord must also show reasonable opportunity to allow the tenant to pay over time. This is good news for landlords because it protects them from having to pay for someone else's infestation.

How does this affect New Jersey?

In New Jersey no such law exists, but the spirit of this law should still be enforced for the common good of all who live in the apartment building. Be sure to create a bed bug policy that outlines tenant and landlord responsibilities before a bed bug infestation occurs. Then execute that policy quickly if these bugs are found. Failure to take immediate action and determine the origin of the infestation could lead to legal nightmares for both parties, and significant suffering for the entire complex.

Whether you are a landlord or tenant, quick response is key. Call the New Jersey bed bug exterminators at Chemtec to quickly remove the infestation and guard against future infestations. Chemtec Pest Control has a track record of keeping properties free of bed bugs, and they can help determine the origin of the infestation.
