Bed bugs will typically leave a bite mark after they have fed. These bites will most likely appear on the face, neck, arms or legs.
Bed bug bites are not dangerous to humans but may cause itchiness and skin irritation. Those dealing with a bed bug infestation may also suffer the effects of a lack of sleep. Bed bugs feed at night, putting you at risk of irritability or insomnia.
Although these consequences are minor, the possibility of an allergic reaction requires that bed bug infestations be handled immediately.
