Bed Bugs
Bed bugs are small insects that feed on human blood. They are usually active at night when people are sleeping.
Bed bugs bite - but do not transmit disease. Bed bugs painlessly feed on their host, injecting a tiny amount of saliva in the process, which can result in mild to severe allergic reactions.
Many people do not react to bed bug bites, though the bite may leave a small welt. Excessive scratching of these bites is highly discouraged as it can lead to secondary infections.
