Best Way To Treat Bed Bug Bites
There are many different kinds of bed bugs, but the most common is the Cimex lectularius. These insects live in mattresses, box springs, and other cushions. They’re not dangerous to humans, but they can cause skin irritation and allergic reactions.
If you’ve been bitten by a bed bug, there are many home remedies that can help you get rid of the bites and prevent them from spreading. You should consult a doctor if you experience any serious symptoms such as fever or swelling around the area where the bite occurred.
One of the best ways to treat bed bug bites is with aloe vera gel. This natural ingredient contains antifungal properties that can help relieve itching and inflammation caused by bites. It also helps speed up healing time so that redness and swelling go away faster than usual.
What does a bed bug bite feel like?
Just as you probably don’t feel a spider bite while you’re sleeping, you probably won’t feel a bed bug bite either. Bed bugs have another defense system that prevents you from feeling you’ve been bitten. Bed bugs inject an anesthetic (numbing) and an anticoagulant (stops bleeding) into your skin when they bite. You may not notice you’ve been bitten until the bite marks appear, which can take from one to a couple days after the bites.
What do bed bug bites look like? What are the signs and symptoms of bed bug bites?
Bed bug bite marks appear on your face, neck, arms, hands or any other exposed skin while you are sleeping. People have different reactions to bed bug bites. Some people may not develop any mark from a bite. Most people develop marks similar to mosquito or flea bites – slightly swollen marks with a reddish bruise in the middle that itch or irritate. Bite marks often appear in a straight line but can be a random pattern. In some people, the itching can be severe.
What are the health effects of bed bug bites?
In most people, bed bug bites don’t cause any serious health problems and the bite marks disappear within a few weeks. In some people, bite marks may be enlarged or more painful swollen welts, and are more painful and itchy.
In rare cases, bed bug bites can cause serious reactions in some people. Signs of a serious, even life-threatening, reaction (called anaphylaxis) to bed bug bites include:
- Difficulty breathing.
- Swollen tongue.
- Blisters.
- Fever.
- Irregular heartbeat.
- Feeling extremely sick.
Other health problems from bed bug bites include:
- Insomnia.
- Anxiety.
- Possible skin infections from tears in your skin caused by vigorous itching.
Do bed bugs spread disease?
No, bed bugs don’t spread disease. Bed bugs don’t carry disease that infects you, nor can you spread the bite rash you get to others.
How do I treat bed bug bites?
Fortunately, bed bug bites don’t usually present a serious threat. The best way to treat bed bug bites is to wash them gently with soap and water, then apply an anti-itch cream or lotion (look for hydrocortisone 1%) to your skin while avoiding use on your face. Do this daily or twice daily if itching is annoying. If this is the case, your healthcare provider may prescribe a stronger steroid cream or recommend that you take an over-the-counter or prescription antihistamine medication.
It’s important to avoid scratching bed bug bites as much as possible. Scratching the bites can lead to skin tears and infections.
How long does it take for bed bug bites to heal?
Bed bug bites usually heal within a week.
