A volunteer opened a bag that seemed to include some type of fabric when she received a nasty shock.
A swarm of large bed bugs immediately crawled up her arm.
"She didn't even get a chance to put her hands in the bag when they ran up her arm," volunteer Michelle Clifford said.
"She's traumatised and has bites everywhere."

Gross and unfortunate. When I worked in donations a long time ago we got a few big bags of dirty underwear and socks. People need to get better about disposal vs thrifting dangerous things.
