Health Issues Caused by Bed Bugs

Bed bugs primarily cause physical discomfort and irritation, although they are not known to transmit diseases. Their bites can lead to itching, loss of sleep, and allergic reactions, and excessive scratching can lead to skin infections. While not directly causing illness, bed bugs can negatively impact mental health due to the discomfort and anxiety they cause. 

Physical Problems:

  • Itching:
    Bed bug bites are typically itchy, leading to discomfort and potential scratching. 

  • Sleep Loss:
    The itching and discomfort can disrupt sleep, leading to insomnia. 

  • Allergies:
    Some individuals may experience allergic reactions to bed bug bites, ranging from mild reactions to severe anaphylaxis in rare cases. 

  • Infections of the Skin:
    Excessive scratching can break the skin, increasing the risk of bacterial infections. 

    Mental Health Impacts

  • Anxiety:
    The presence of bed bugs can cause significant anxiety, especially if an infestation is discovered. 

  • Insomnia:
    Sleep disturbances due to itching and the overall stress of an infestation can contribute to insomnia.
