A Gloucestershire woman says she was bitten on the big toe by a seven-inch bed bug.

Joy Jones said she screamed in agony after being bitten by the poisonous centipede.

The 60-year-old believes it was the same one she threw away and left for dead in her garden over a year ago.

Her daughter Bridget had accidentally brought back the orange-fanged bug in her luggage from a holiday on the Greek island of Santorini.

Joy, of Charfield, said: "I felt a tremendous pain and flung the bedclothes back. My husband Rodney and I both looked in absolute amazement."

The couple caught the centipede and took it to Bristol Zoo, where it was identified as a Mediterranean species.

Experts could not explain how it might have survived so long outside in Britain, says The Sun.

Fortunately my sheets are all satin so it would feel cold to anything that come in contact

BTW that is karma at work, the lady should have saved it and it wont come back to bite her in the behind. this is funny to me. Bad thing is I live in Las Vegas where centerpide also live....

Ugh! Why'd I come back to look at that!!! Ewwww, look at all those legs! yuk! yuk!

Moe thinks it is way better to have a bed bug then to discover a bed sheep.

Lol!

Surely you wouldn't just leave it in the garden.... I'd flush it down the loo or something to make sure the bugger was well and truly gone!

Lol... Ames
