One of the most frequent questions we get at Bed Bug Supply is “where do bed bugs bite”. My gosh, we must get that question at least once a day and the answer is simple: bed bugs bite anywhere. From my experience talking to others about bed bug bites, I have found that most people usually only get bitten on exposed skin. This means it’s fairly rare for someone to be bitten on their arms or something else covered by clothing. Bed bug symptoms are present in all stages of the bed bug life cycle, but it’s one step that can be overlooked. Bed bugs suck human blood and leave behind itchy bites. However, not all bites are the same — receive the wrong treatment and you could experience skin problems. Don’t trust your skin to just any bed bug treatment.

Bed Bug Symptoms On Skin

Introduction

Bed bugs are a type of insect that can live in any area, including your home or the office. They often go unnoticed, but they can be found in almost every part of the world. While they don’t typically spread disease, they’re considered pests and their bites may cause itching and skin irritation.

Bed bugs tend to bite exposed skin, like the neck, arms, hands, feet, and legs.

Bed bugs tend to bite exposed skin, like the neck, arms, hands, feet, and legs. This is because bed bugs are attracted to carbon dioxide that humans exhale. However, bed bugs do not bite through clothing. They are nocturnal insects meaning they are typically more active at night when you’re sleeping.

Bed bugs don’t inject an anesthetic into your skin before they bite you.

Bed bugs don’t inject an anesthetic into your skin before they bite you. This is important to know because it means that if you are bitten by a bed bug, the pain of the bite will be immediate. Bed bugs also don’t inject any other substance into your skin when they bite you.

They’re just hungry little creatures that want to feed on human blood!

Bites from bed bugs are often found in a line or group of bites known as the breakfast, lunch and dinner sign.

Sometimes bed bug bites can look like other bug bites.

Bed bug bites can be mistaken for other insect bites, like those from mosquitoes or spiders, or even flea bites.

Bed bug bites can also look identical to hives. The same is true of a rash caused by bed bugs — it could be mistaken for other common skin reactions such as rosacea, acne, eczema (atopic dermatitis), allergic contact dermatitis and psoriasis.

If you have bed bug bites that are itchy but don’t cause any other symptoms, you probably don’t require medical attention.

Bed bug bites are not a serious health risk. They do not cause infections and do not transmit disease. If you have bed bug bites that are itchy but don’t cause any other symptoms, you probably don’t require medical attention. However, if you’re concerned about bed bugs or suspect you’ve been bitten by one, call a pest control professional to inspect your home for signs of infestation—and if you see evidence of an infestation (e.g., fecal matter), call an exterminator immediately to take care of the problem before it gets worse!

If your skin is severely irritated by the bites themselves (rather than just being itchy), we recommend that you wash the area with soap and water as soon as possible after being bitten to help reduce swelling and itching. The longer after being bitten that this is done, however, the more likely it will be effective in reducing irritation; therefore we would still strongly encourage doing so within 24 hours after noticing irritation developing from any new bite(s).

The good news is that people rarely get sick from bed bug bites.

The good news is that people rarely get sick from bed bug bites. Bed bugs are not known to carry any diseases, but their bites can cause allergic reactions and skin infections.

Skin reactions to bed bug bites vary greatly in terms of their severity and intensity. Some people develop mild itching around the bite site, while others experience severe pain and swelling that lasts for days or weeks at a time. Some people also develop a red rash around the bite itself, which causes even more discomfort than just leaving it alone would have done in the first place!
