And why seek publicity, when a lawsuit is running ? Put pressure on CX for an $M out-of-court settlement ?

Throw away a suitcase of cloths & belongings, while the suitcase has nowhere been near to the seat ?

Oh, and it was not CX, bringing the bed bugs on the airplane. Other passengers did so, if it happened.

As QRC writes: CX is not evil, other people would have reported the same and this would have reached government healthcare organizations to, if it is something serious. I can not imagine, an ISM / Captain NOT reporting such an issue, if it is omitted, they would be personally liable. These people do write a report of "special" items for every flight and OP's complaint would certainly fall into that category.

To me, it looks much more like an allergic reaction, and if indeed bed bugs, then just a few bed (?) bugs, instead of being infested. The doctor did not give any conclusive diagnose and came spontaneously with another diagnose.
