Can bedbugs harm bite

Answer 1

If you mean can it harm your health and well being if you have bedbugs in your bed, the answer is YES. But let me explain this. Unlike certain other insects ( for example fleas, ticks, certain mosquitoes and certain spiders) that feast on human blood, bedbugs after their meal are not known to leave any harmful single celled microorganisms known medically as pathogenic bacteria in your blood like for example anopheles mosquitoes may do after they have bitten you.

BUT......that does not mean that if you find your bed has become infested with bedbugs, you have absolutely nothing to be concerned about, because being bitten by bedbugs can still cause you some considerable discomfort to some people including maddening itching, unsightly red marks over parts of you used to extract your blood from you and they often use the beds of people they feed on not only as a banqueting hall but also as their lavatory! So after their night time visits to that bed they leave disgusting looking red spots and discarded nymph skins all over your bed linen.

Worse, if you get bitten in bed by a considerable number of bedbugs, and so lose a big quantity of your blood's haemoglobin so causing you to have a deficiency of a deficiency of B12 vitamins , the consequence of that can be you get megaloblastic anaemia.

More of a concern once you do get a bedbug infestation in your home, they breed extremely rapidly. So if you have (say) a population of just 20 bedbugs in your home in June and fail to take action to get rid of them, because each female lays about 10 eggs per 24 hours, that means by December the bedbug population resident in your home is likely to have increased to over 3,000 bedbugs all seeking out sleeping humans to feast on in or near that residence night after night!
