What are the signs and symptoms of bed bug bites?

Asked 6 months ago
The signs and symptoms of bed bug bites typically include red, itchy welts or swollen bumps on the skin. These marks are often arranged in a line or cluster and may be accompanied by a burning sensation. Some individuals may have an allergic reaction, leading to more severe symptoms such as blistering or hives. Bed bug bites tend to occur on exposed areas of the body, such as the face, neck, arms, and legs, as these pests feed during the night. It is common to find dark spots of bed bug excrement or blood stains on bedding or nearby furniture as well. If you suspect bed bugs, it is important to engage in professional pest control to effectively eliminate the infestation.
