LOL Bed Bugs only eat Dead skin they don’t normally affect humans. Although some people have an allergic reaction to them in general. If you see a rash forming that could be an allergic reation.
Suggestion would be to wash your sheets weekly. Hot water isn’t necessary.

Val…I know exactly where you are coming from. Don’t listen to the other poster here. If you have bed bugs, you can see them after awhile. Bed bug bites itch a lot and you will get bit every night while you sleep. They are kind of like mosquito bites. They don’t spread disease, but they are an itchy affair for sure. I found a great site that has tons of great information on bedbugs. You can see what they look like there and see what the bites look like. If you are dealing with bed bugs, then I truly feel sorry for you! You have a real battle on your hands.

Do you get bites when you sleep? If so, do those bites look like the picture there? http://www.bedbugpowder.com/info.html

It is hard to find bed bugs even if your place is infected. They are hiding in the folds and crevices on the mattress or couches during a day. But if you have a serious infection, you may be able to find one or two. It is a tiny brownish bug and leaves red marks on your skin after it bites you. I got bites on my thigh when I first realized I had bed bugs. Then they kept biting me, and those red marks were all over my legs and back….. Oh it was nightmare…

I don’t know how I got them, but it could be from my friends or neighbors….or from the suitcase when I traveled to NY. Who knows, but I finally got rid of them all using the bed bug powder. I spent a lot of money to kill bed bugs, but none of them worked until I used this powder. I still keep the powder even though I don’t have bed buts anymore… just peace of mind….
