In this picture we can see the bed bug bite up close. We see that it is in the middle of a person’s arm. You can see they are red because they are inflamed. It seems the one bite is maybe a little larger than the other, and the person who has them has lots of them around their arm. The photo gives us a good idea of where these bites could be, because you can actually see them on the skin in real life if you looked for them. Have you ever seen a bed bug up close? I have. That’s the sort of thing that happened when our family got a telephone call from the school about bed bugs being found in our daughter’s bag. The school was gracious enough to give us time to get things sorted out, but I must admit I was horrified at the thought of bugs being on my little girl. Let me take you through a day in the life as we deal with this issue… Do you have any idea how tiny a bed bug bite is? They are a fraction of the size that your mind has made them out to be. I’ll let you in on a secret. The chances of you ever having to deal with anything as far as bed bugs go is pretty slim. But if you are, here’s what they look like.
Bed Bug Bite Up Close

Bed bugs bite you while you are asleep.
Bed bugs feed on your blood.
They can live for up to a year without food, which is why it’s so important to eliminate them as soon as possible when they enter your home. They prefer to feed on exposed skin, but will also bite through clothing if you don’t change clothes in between sleep cycles and have the same shirt on when they are ready to feed again at night.
Bed bug bites are painless and do not cause any itching or irritation
Bed bug bites are painless and do not cause any itching or irritation. Bed bugs do not inject poison or an irritant. They are not dangerous, but the bites can be very annoying for a time. Bed bug infestations have increased in the last few years and have become an increasing problem in our homes. They can be found throughout North America and Europe, as well as Australia, Africa, Asia and Central America.
Bed bugs are small (about 5mm long), wingless insects that live on the blood of humans and animals while they sleep at night time. The most common way to get bed bugs is by moving into an infested apartment or hotel room where you can bring them home with you unknowingly on your clothes or luggage (they hide in tiny cracks). The best thing to do is check yourself before going out into public; when traveling stay away from secondhand mattresses before buying new ones!
Bed bug bites are small, red and itchy
Bed bug bites are small, red and itchy. They can be mistaken for other insect bites such as mosquito bites, but take a closer look. Bedbug bites are oval-shaped, unlike mosquito bites which are round. The size of bedbug bite marks also varies from mosquito bite marks: bedbug bite marks are smaller than two millimeters in diameter whereas a mosquito bite mark is usually larger than two millimeters in diameter or roughly the size of a pencil eraser (1/8” to 3/16”).
Bed bugs can cause an allergic reaction in some people; symptoms include swelling, pain and itching around the site of the bite. The severity varies by individual; some people may experience little to no reaction while others may suffer severe symptoms including blistering skin lesions that require medical treatment.
A bed bug bite is often confused with a mosquito bite. The main difference is that bed bug bites are painless.
Bed bug bites are often confused with mosquito bites, but the main difference is that bed bugs do not cause itching or irritation. They may look similar, however: small and red.
Bed bugs tend to be painless, which can make it more difficult to identify them as the culprit behind a rash of bug bites. The best way to determine whether you’ve been bitten by a bed bug is by observing its appearance after you’ve tried washing away the itchiness of your suspected mosquito bite. If there’s still an indentation of where the bite was placed while it was stinging your skin, then chances are higher than not that what you’re looking at is actually a bed bug mark instead of an insect-related rash caused by another species entirely.
