I wrote this article because bed bug bites on a black person is a problem that most people don’t think will ever happen to them. But it can and it does, and I know because I get these bites a lot. So much that I even researched how to get rid of them and prevent them in the future. As a black person, I was skeptical about the existence of bedbugs. According to my mom, they had them in the suburbs where she grew up. However, I wasn’t even around 10 years later when they supposedly were all over. In fact, I didn’t give them much thought at all until I left my business trip early to get back home and deal with this bed bug thing. Here’s what happened. Bed bug bites are not pretty, they can cause a full autoimmune response in some people that makes their body attack itself. The result of this is an outbreak of redness, swelling and the formation of big blotches. This looks really bad, it can even make your whole body swell up and itch like crazy. There is no relief from seeing these red blotches on your skin and having your whole body itching like hell.

Bed Bug Bites on Children

Children are more susceptible to bed bug bites because their immune systems are not as strong. Bed bugs are most active at night and can hide in the folds of sheets, clothing, or furniture. Children can be exposed to bed bugs when sharing a bed with an infected person.

Bite reactions vary from person to person and may include skin redness and swelling or an itchy rash; however, some people develop severe allergic reactions that require medical attention.

Other bacteria associated with bed bug infestations include Eikenella corrodens and Pasteurella species (pasteru).

Itchy red bumps on your skin accompanied by a slight burning sensation may indicate an allergic reaction to bed bug saliva or feces left behind during feeding sessions.
