Bed Bug Bites

Bed bugs have a beak-like mouth that is formed by two parts. One part feeds off human blood during a bed bug bite, and the other part injects saliva so you don’t feel the bed bug biting.

When bed bugs bite humans, they generally feed for up to 10 minutes, drinking 6 times their weight in blood. These bloodsuckers cause havoc in both Dallas Fort Worth, mainly because bed bugs bite in the evening when humans are sleeping.

Reactions To Bed Bug Bites

Not everyone has the same action, though generally your body being allergic to the bed bug saliva causes bite reactions. After waking up in the morning, you might find some itchy bed bug bite marks; but it can take a week for serious skin reactions to occur.
