Bed bug bites are the result of an allergic reaction that the bed bug’s saliva causes. Although many people suffer no ill effects from the bite of these pests, others experience an itching, oozing blister on the place where they were bit. In more serious cases, some people develop inflammation and even infection at the bite site. While most people will never know if they have a bed bug allergy, or a severe reaction to the bites may not occur until later in life, it is important to learn how to identify bed bugs and bed bug bites so that you can take action immediately if they show up at your home. Bed bug bites can be itchy and sometimes painful, but they do not pose health risks. Bedbugs are reddish-brown in color and wingless, nocturnal insects; they bite exposed skin at night. The practice of intentional property damage to eradicate the pest is not recommended and could cause further issues.

Bed bugs are small, flat, brown insects that feed on the blood of humans and animals. They are about the size of an apple seed and can hide in a variety of places, including mattresses and other furniture. Bed bug bites occur when a person is bitten by a bed bug. The bite may cause itchiness and swelling, which can be a sign of an allergic reaction.
The most common signs of bed bug infestation include:
-Small, oval-shaped red bumps with a purple center (from where they’ve been scratching).
-Blisters that ooze clear liquid when scratched open.
-Itching (from all the scratching).
Bed bug bites are often difficult to distinguish from other insect bites. However, many people become aware of a bed bug infestation because of the itchy welts that appear on their skin after sleeping. These welts may be a few millimeters or over an inch (2-5 cm) in diameter. Bed bugs bite through clothing, so the welts will not be covered by pajamas or other clothing.
The most common places where people get bitten are:
Head and neck
Shoulders and arms
Hands and wrists
