The good news is that bed bugs are not that dangerous to most people. While no one wants to have them around, they are not likely to provide you with any real problems, although in some people they can cause a higher level of reaction than others will have.
Bed bugs are often thought of in the minds of children as biting. In the song, “Don’t let the bed bugs bite,” they may have described just what the human can expect from the little bed bug.
The good news is that it is painless to the human. The bed bugs will likely feed from their host at night, while the host is sleeping and still.
Therefore, it is likely that the host, or human, will never feel it or will they see the bed bug actually bite them.
The bed bug will inject a liquid into the bite that it creates. This fluid is used to keep the blood from clotting and sealing up the wound. In most cases, the only way that you will know that you have been bit is by the reaction that some people have to this fluid.
If you do have a reaction to the fluid, it is likely to be something that is bothersome but not overly problematic. It will be an itchy, irritated and inflamed area of the skin.
But, each person is different here. Many people will not have any reaction to the bug bite at all, which makes it harder to know they are even there.
Don't let these little buggers invade and haunt your bed, I wrote this book to sleep soundly at night with no more fear of bed beds.
