Diseases caused by these pests
Allergy
This is the most common disease that bed bugs spread. When you get bitten you will notice clustered red marks in your back and it will be quite itchy. Sometimes, these rashes are also water filled. Children can experience severe itching from these rashes and it can last up to several days. It is advised to check with a doctor as soon as you see these marks.
Secondary infection
Rashes from bed bugs are not transmittable. However, since they are severely itchy the wounds can open up and lead to ecthyma, if they are left untreated for a long period of time. Secondly, you can also experience lymphanitis if you have breathing problems.
Understanding them to prevent them
These pests’ dwell on blood of humans and require blood to survive. They can feed on blood of your pets as well. Unlike mosquitoes they cannot fly and are nocturnal. They hide near the food source until they find it safe to come out and feed. This is the reason that they usually come out in the dark and bite you while you are sleeping.
They are as small as the tip of the pen and have transparent skin while they are growing up. Nevertheless, in the early stages of infestation, you will also not find any problem and bite marks will be almost negligible. The problem starts manifesting when they have grown large in size and so are their bite marks. At this stage, when they are mature, you will find red rashes in clusters or in line. These rashes may be itchy or may not be itchy at all.
