Bedbug Health Concerns
Do they transmit any diseases?
No. They are known carriers of many diseases, but they have not been shown to be transmitters of these diseases. The reaction to bites is highly variable depending on individual sensitivity. A bite can look like a tiny pin prick or a big, ugly welt. Even a dermatologist may not know what type of insect bit you. Below are some bedbug bites of varying severity. The welts and classic triangle pattern seem more common, but they can look similar to mosquito bite and bee stings.
What health concerns are there?
Despite the fact that bedbug bites are not really harmful, a person who is living with bedbugs will tell you that their mental health and well-being are dramatically affected, and this may impact their physical health. If you can't sleep because you keep getting bitten, you may become sleep deprived and experience greater stress. Knowing that there are parasites in your bed can make you feel sick and helpless. At American Pest Control, we hear that helpless desperation and it drives us to be diligent.
