Not only will Fox News have to pay its exterminator bill, but it’ll have to take out the checkbook to pay for the Post Traumatic Stress Disorder that some critters caused.

Jane Clark, a 12-year veteran of Fox News, was bitten at work by bed bugs three times between October 2007 and April 2008. She claims that her complaints only brought ridicule and inaction from managers and co-workers.

According to Jane, the infestation was brought in from a co-worker who used her workstation on the weekends.

Jane was terrified of taking the bugs home to her child and now experiences regular nightmares. She also keeps a flashlight close by at night in case she needs to look for bugs at night.

She’s filed a lawsuit for an undisclosed amount and a workers’ comp claim because of the PTSD and inability to work. Fox News is currently paying her medical bills and lost wages.

Jane’s home was never infested and Fox News is bringing in independent bed bug experts to take a look at the problem.
