9. We called a Doctor (650$US) He gave my Husband 3 needles (1500$US) Prescribed drugs(1800$US) We got home and saw the Specialist right away and She said that it looked like bed bugs (a very bad reaction on my husband's part) and definitely not a Methycillin Resistant Staph Infection that the Doctor had diagnosed.
