Common Bed Bug Bites

Introduction

Bed bugs are a type of insect that feed on human blood, usually at night. Their bites can result in a number of health effects including skin rashes, psychological effects and allergic symptoms. Bed bug bites may lead to skin changes ranging from invisible to prominent blisters. Symptoms may take between minutes to days to appear and itchiness is generally present.

Bed bug bites come in all shapes, sizes and itchy degrees.

Bed bugs are small, flat and reddish brown. They are not known to carry disease, but they can be very itchy and annoying. The most common sign of a bed bug infestation is finding bloodstains on your sheets or mattresses, especially near the seams where they’re harder to clean.

Bed bugs have a high reproductive rate, so even if you treat an area that has bed bugs once it could still be possible for them to come back later in the year. Bed bugs can also be difficult to detect because they hide during the day when people are awake; therefore making it important that you check for their presence at all times of day before deciding whether or not your home requires treatment

Bed bugs feed on blood and are usually found above the mattress and box spring in the seams of pillows, between cushions and folds of mattresses, between the folds of curtains, under rugs and in cracks of furniture.

Bed bugs are flat and oval shaped, and they can be as small as a speck of dust or as big as an apple seed. Their color ranges from reddish brown to yellowish brown, but they may appear to be dark grey if they have recently fed on blood.

Bed bugs usually feed at night while you’re sleeping, so you may not notice any bites until the next morning. If you do feel something on your skin that resembles an insect bite, check for the presence of bed bugs by looking for tiny black fecal spots or stains on sheets or mattresses where bed bugs tend to hide during the day.

Most people who are bitten by bed bugs have welts that look like a red flat welt.

These bites can be itchy, painful or both. The itching usually starts after the bite heals, but some people may feel itching while they’re being bitten. If you do feel itching during the bite, it may be because of a secondary skin reaction to the saliva injected by bed bugs when they bite you and not an allergic reaction to their saliva directly.

The welts caused by bed bug bites typically appear in clusters or lines on your skin where you were sleeping on your sheets at night when you first saw them as tiny white specks crawling around on your blankets and pillows before crawling up under clothes to feed off human blood cells through capillaries within layers of skin tissue just beneath our epidermis (outer layer).

Bed bugs will bite any warm-blooded animal, including dogs, cats, birds and rodents.

Bed bugs are not limited to human hosts. They also feed on animals such as cats, dogs and birds. Bed bugs can be found in homes, hotels, hospitals and other public places. Don’t assume you’re safe just because you don’t live in an urban area or you don’t share the same home with a large number of people. Bed bugs can live for years without feeding (up to 18 months) so they can stay hidden away until they find their next meal—and that could be your cat or dog!

When traveling avoid staying at hotels where there are reports of bed bugs.

When traveling, bed bug bites are a common occurrence. By being aware of the signs and symptoms of a bed bug infestation, you can avoid getting bitten in the first place.

• Avoid staying at hotels where there are reports of bed bugs. If you do not have any other choice, make sure to inspect your room for any signs of an infestation before sleeping on it.
• Do not sleep on beds that have been reported to be infested with bed bugs or even near them, as they may crawl onto your body while you sleep.
• Do not use hotel linens or blankets; instead bring along your own pillowcase, mattress pad and sheets. If necessary use duct tape around the perimeter of these items so that no crawling insects can get inside them during travel time (this will also prevent dust mites from making their way into your luggage).

Conclusion

Bed bugs are terrible, they are a nuisance and they spread disease, so it is a good idea to try to prevent them from entering your home. If you do find bedbugs in your home be sure to contact a professional who can help you get rid of them.
