File this under "Things We'd Never Do": voluntarily sleep in a bedbug-infested bed for science. And yet, one biologist/saintly woman/masochist Regine Grieves did just that, subjecting herself to 18,000 bedbug bites in an effort to find a way to stop them. Grieves and her fellow biologist husband studied the bedbugs' poop (barf), their skin flakes (blech), and the remains of dead bugs to determine what kind of scents should be used in bedbug traps.
