You can see them with the naked eye, they are a reddish color, but they hide as soon as light touches them. Look in the cracks of the matress when it’s dark and you may see them. You know if you have them if you get a “rash” on your skin. They burrow under your skin and leave red marks. You get bed bugs, by transferring them from a place that has them. For instance…last new year’s me and 3 friends stayed at a hotel that had them, we woke up and freaked out when we saw them in the morning. My friends G-ma came and brought us all clean outfits which we changed into before we got in the car. All the clothes and stuff went into large plastic bags in the trunk. We went to the hospital where they told us to wash ourselves completely and all of our clothes so as not to transfer anything into the house. All 4 of us ended up with a rash, which we got a tube of cream for and shared it. It went away with no further problems.
(P.s. we tried to report the hotel but no one listened to us, but we never went back to it.)

Blood stains and dark spots on bedding from fecal matter are a sure sign of a bed bug infestation. The reason blood stains happen is either because you’ve rolled over and crushed an adult full of blood, or the anticoagulant they’ve injected worked well enough that you continued to bleed after the bed bug has fed. If you see anything like blood, or even empty skins (from molting) around your bed, chances are you have bed bugs.:)
