(AP) -- When it comes to bed bugs, a new report suggests sometimes the fix is worse than the problem.
In a panic to get rid of them, many people misused and over-used pesticides, making themselves sick in the process.
The centers for disease control counted 111 illnesses in 2010.
One woman in North Carolina died after using 18 cans of insecticide without airing out her home.
