Mew2King told he can't attend Melee tournament amid bed bug fears

Dexerto reported on October 16 that Melee player Mew2King had been told he couldn't attend Xtreme Fighters Showdown amid concerns he might spread bed bugs. Mew2King described persistent bites and swollen hands, but said the insects hadn't been identified: his roommate suspected fleas, while others suggested bed bugs. Dexerto reported no evidence that he brought bed bugs to the event; organizers said attendee health and wellbeing was their priority.
