Can Bed Bugs Kill You
If you have ever heard of bed bugs or even had them, you know that can wreak psychological warfare on the mind. I mean bugs eating your blood while you sleep or rest. That is a cause for disturbance. The question is, can they actually kill you? We asked our friends at Pest Control Thornhill Exterminator, who specialize in bed bug removal in Thornhill, to see if they can or not.
If you have not heard of what a bed bug is you may be wondering what they are and what they look like. Well, they are little oval brown bugs that greatly resemble some ticks. They do not eat animal’s blood though. They come out when you are resting and make little bites eating your blood.
As you know mosquitoes can transmit all kinds of viruses and diseases. Bed bugs are not known to do anything as the such. They are certainly annoying and uncomfortable but they do not pass on viruses or diseases. In fact, they do not really threaten your health in most cases.
You are probably asking yourself about the bites then. Well, when a bed bug bites you it does leave a track of bites. This is often the first sign of having them in your home. If you are awake you may feel a tiny discomfort. Most people sleep right through the bed bug feeding off of them.
As with any type of scratch, burn, wound or bite, it can get infected. Practice proper hygiene and there should not be an issue with the bites. It is very uncommon that someone gets an infection from a bed bug bite. That is not necessarily from the bed bug itself. It will likely be due to another germ getting inside of the bites.
