An Italian woman is suing a ferry company after waking up in a first-class cabin "covered in ticks from head to toe". Cristina Sassudelli, 41, was making a night crossing at the weekend from the northern city of Genoa to the port of Olbia on the southern Italian island of Sardinia.
"At 6.30am, I was wakened by the itching on one arm and I realised I was covered with ticks from head to toe," she said, according to accounts in several Italian dailies.
"I have always had dogs and I saw immediately that these weren't any kind of insect. There were hundreds of them," she added.
Staff on the ferry, run by a company called La Tirrenia, took her infested clothes and gave her new ones that were far too big, she said.
The company did not reimburse her for her first-class ticket, she said.
