Are bed bugs hazardous to your health?
Answered by admin
Question:
I live in New York City and saw a recent show on tv about bed bugs and how they’re everywhere in the city. I thought it was absolutely disgusting that they actually suck your blood! Does this cause any sort permanent or otherwise serious damage?
Answer:
Bed bugs feed on human blood. Bed bugs harbor nearly 30 human pathogens but it is unknown whether these are transmitted to humans. It is known that bed bugs bites appear as an irritated rash with an itch that just won’t go away.
