Bed bugs are pesky pests whose infestation is on a constant rise. They are destructive to physical and mental health of an individual and can greatly affect the well being of a family. These insects are blood suckers that feed on human blood. Though bed bugs don’t transmit infectious diseases, they are responsible for causing various health risks and ailments that are result of their bites.
Some of the health issues related to bed bug infestations are:
- Allergy: Majority of people who experience bed bug bites show up mild allergic reactions and hives. In severe cases, hypersensitivity to bites can lead to anaphylactic shocks that can turn out to be extremely dangerous and life threatening. If you are undergoing swelling and stinging pain, seek immediate medical attention.
- Insomnia: Since bed bugs usually bite during night, they are responsible for depriving your sleep. These insects can exhaust an individual both mentally and physically by keeping him awake all night. When interrogated, most of the people described their experience with bed bugs as the worst one they had ever gone through on life. Bed bugs can completely drain the well being and peace of mind of a family. A person living in an infested home is likely to suffer from insomnia, irritability, depression, loss of appetite and psychosis.
- Infection: Although bed bugs don’t spread deadly pathogens, they are capable of introducing germs. When one scratches the site of bite, the skin may disrupt or inflame. Through these disrupted spots germs can easily get inside the wound, thereby causing serious infections.
- Depression: Bed bugs are not easy to eradicate and can accommodate every space in your home, may it be wall or beds. With regular bites, an individual may get deprived of sleep along with reddish bumps and skin scabs. These physical symptoms can result in mental stress and, if left untreated, can cause depression and weakened immune system.
- Illnesses: With weak immune system, a bite affected victim can become prone to serious health ailments. This weakness may expose you to other latent illnesses. Moreover, if your place is infested with bed bugs, you’ll not only suffer physically and emotionally, you socially too.
