Getting bitten by bed bugs can be a rare but extremely unpleasant experience. Bed bug bites are hard to tell apart from mosquito bites – both species tend to bite in the night, and they cause similar skin rashes and itching. Yet even in the presence of bed bugs, there’s as much chance that you’re dealing with mosquito bites. In this article we’ll discuss how to find bed bug eggs, what their bites look like and whether or not you have a problem in your home. Bed bug bites spread like a disease and can be very dangerous to your health. If you are facing bed bugs problems, then it is important to know how to get rid of bed bug bites overnight and how to prevent bed bug bites.

Natural Treatment For Bed Bug Bites

Apply Ice Pack

Applying an ice pack to the bite is another effective way to reduce swelling and itching. The combination of cold temperatures and pressure will calm down your nerves, reducing the severity of any swelling or irritation. To apply an ice pack, wrap it in a towel so that you don’t directly touch your skin with ice. It’s best to use this method for 5-10 minutes every hour or two until you feel relief from your symptoms.

Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar is a good home remedy for bed bug bites. It can help to soothe the itching and reduce swelling.

• Soak a cotton ball in apple cider vinegar, then apply to the bite area.
• Leave on for 5-10 minutes or overnight if you are experiencing severe itching.

Hot Water

If you are experiencing a large number of bites, it is important to use hot water. It will soothe your skin, reduce itching, kill bacteria and prevent scarring.

Honey

Honey

Honey has many properties that make it an effective natural remedy for bed bug bites. It is an antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial agent. When applied directly to the affected area, it can help reduce the inflammation and itching caused by bed bug bites. You can also mix honey with cinnamon powder or turmeric to enhance its effects as an antiseptic or anti-bacterial agent respectively. If you want to go one step further, add some peppermint oil into your mixture of honey and cinnamon/turmeric etc(depending on what type of bite you have) to enhance its effect as both antiseptic & anti inflammatory agent at once!

Baking Soda

• Baking soda has anti-inflammatory properties that help to reduce swelling and itching.
• It can also help to dry out the bites.
• Mix baking soda with water, forming a paste that you can apply to the bites. Leave it on for about 20 minutes before washing off with warm water and soap.

Use Aloe Vera Gel

Aloe Vera is a plant-based remedy you can use to treat bed bug bites. It contains antibacterial and antiseptic properties that help heal the skin and reduce inflammation. To use aloe vera gel on bed bug bites:

• Wash your hands thoroughly before handling the aloe vera leaf/gel.
• Break off a piece of an aloe vera leaf, about 2 inches by 1 inch (5 cm x 2 cm). The best time to do this is in early morning before breakfast when the plant has produced more sap than usual. Cut off any brown spots from around it. If possible, choose a piece with more than one growing tip (where new leaves can be grown) as these are more effective at healing wounds than older plants with only one growing tip each

Mint Leaves

Mint leaves have a cooling and soothing effect that can ease the pain of bed bug bites. You can treat them with mint leaves in three different ways:

• Apply fresh mint leaves to the affected area, which may help to cool the skin and reduce itching.
• Rub dried mint leaves on the affected area for a similar effect, or make a tea out of dried mint leaves to drink. This will help both to relieve symptoms and soothe headaches that may be caused by your bed bug bites (but remember not to apply any kind of substance directly onto open wounds).
• Drink plenty of fluids while you’re being bitten, since dehydration can exacerbate your symptoms (and possibly lead to kidney failure).

Drink Green Tea

There are a number of natural remedies that can help you to manage the symptoms of bed bug bites. Green tea is one of them, and it’s incredibly effective at reducing inflammation, pain and itchiness.

Green tea contains powerful anti-oxidants known as polyphenols which have been shown to reduce inflammation in the body. In addition to this, green tea also contains compounds called catechins which have been shown to inhibit an enzyme called COX-1 (cyclooxygenase). This enzyme is responsible for producing prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) – a compound that causes acute inflammation when activated by immune cells called macrophages after being exposed to irritants or allergens such as those found in bites from bed bugs or fleas.

Tea Tree Oil and Coconut Oil

• Tea tree oil and coconut oil are both anti-inflammatory.
• Anti-inflammation properties reduce swelling, itching and redness. They are both natural, non-toxic and have been used for centuries in many cultures for their anti-bacterial properties.
• Coconut oil is not recommended for dogs since it can cause gastrointestinal issues if ingested by your pet (as opposed to tea tree oil which has no known side effects).

Natural treatments for bed bug bites are better for your skin.

The fact that chemical treatments may cause skin irritation, redness and dryness, among other issues is enough reason to avoid them. Natural treatments, on the other hand, are completely safe for your skin.

Natural treatments are also easy to obtain and use. They come in many forms such as oils and creams which can be applied directly on the affected area. The application process is simple but it takes time before you see any results because bed bugs can live up to six months without feeding!

The main advantage of natural treatment over chemical one is its cost-effectiveness since these products are less expensive than their chemical counterparts.
