You think bedbugs are bad! what about cockroaches crawling across your nose while you are sleeping in you bunk - one of four or five stacked in a dorm on a ship with no air conditioning in places like Morocco. Where they breed so fast you can't kill em fast enuf. Maybe you had enuf room to roll over but not enuf room to sit up. Cockroaches constantly crawling everywhere - even inside your blankets!
Now that was gross! We did however have cockroach "derbies" where we would be rewarded for finding nests and killing them. If I remember correctly we got something like ten bucks! Mind you ten bucks was a lot compared to what we got paid then - actually it was called "allowance" we weren't allowed to call it pay!
Aaaaaaah those were the days - sigh..............
