Let $K\subseteq\mathbb{R}^2$ be a compact set such that $K+\mathbb{Z}^2=\mathbb{R}^2$. We prove, via Algebraic Topology, that the integer points of the difference set of $K$, $(K-K)\cap\mathbb{Z}^2$, is not contained on the coordinate axes, $\mathbb{Z}\times\{0\}\cup\mathbb{Z}\times\{0\}$. This result gives a negative answer to a question posed by P. Hegarty and M. Nathanson on relatively prime lattice points.
