Question by Sky:
Do bed bugs feed on people who are on blood-thinning medications like Wafarin?

I’ve been on Wafarin since 2006–due to a blood-clotting disorder called Factor Five Leiden.

Since I’ve been on the drug, skeeters avoid me like the plague, and fleas hate me with a passion–since biting me means certain death.

But with the bed bug infestation on the rise, I’ve been wondering if the same can be said of these nasty critters?

Do they also bite people who are on blood-thinners? Or do they avoid them as well?

Best answer:

Answer by Tigerlily
They are indiscriminate, doesn’t matter if you are on Warfarin or not, they bite everyone, but its only some who feel the effects. They could happily feed on you for years without you knowing, or they could bite you and you could get welts and itching like you’ve never known. So fingers crossed for you, if fleas dont like you, hopefully these little buggers wont.

I DON’T think you can get away from the little critters. They go after everyone and don’t discriminate.
