Health Hazards of Bed Bugs
-
Skin Reactions & Allergies – Bed bug bites can cause red, itchy welts and, in some cases, allergic reactions leading to severe inflammation.
-
Infections – Excessive scratching of bites can break the skin, increasing the risk of bacterial infections like impetigo or cellulitis.
-
Sleep Disturbances & Anxiety – Knowing bed bugs are present can cause insomnia, stress, and even psychological distress such as anxiety or paranoia.
-
Anemia (Rare Cases) – Severe infestations, especially in vulnerable individuals, can lead to blood loss over time, causing mild anemia.
-
Asthma & Respiratory Issues – Shed skins and feces of bed bugs can become airborne and trigger asthma or allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
