Can bed bugs get on you if you stand next to someone who has them?

Answer 1

No that is unlikely though not totally impossible. You see the point is people do not have bedbugs and do not normally carry them around with them. Beds and homes do have bedbugs. But can I explain this better. The bedbugs will stay in hiding places in your bedding or near your bed and only come out at night when somebody is asleep in that bed to feed or else if they get disturbed, such as when you make your bed or tidy your room. When they come out at night, you will then get bitten because your bed is the problem not you. People's beds are in close proximity such as in a dormitory of a barrack room, then bedbugs in one person's bed do often move across to the neighbouring person's bed. In private houses or apartments too if one person sleeping in that home gets them in their bedroom and it gets infested, some bedbugs may in time move to other bedrooms in the same home and feed off the person using that bed, and so that bedroom may also become infested in time. The point to understand is bedbugs will multiply over a period of time if you have them anywhere in your home and they find people when asleep by your breath and that is what attracts them to you. So it is most important to get rid of them just as soon as you know you have a bedbug problem anywhere in the home. Do nothing and the problem will just get worse and worse as the months go by, and thenif somebody comes to visit that home they could end up unwittingly with a bedbug laying its eggs in their clothing and import it into their home. So your visitors home gets an infestation due to your negligence in not dealing with the problem.

Answer 2

Bed bugs do not jump, but they can crawl to you if you are together long enough.

This is not likely. It is much more likely to get bed bugs from some one by sharing living spaces, clothing, bedding, or other linens.

Answer 3

No, they are only in your bed, not on bodies. So if you hug someone, you will not get bedbugs.

Answer 4

Beg bugs get from one place to the next by crawling onto the person or hitching a ride in their luggage. So yes you can get them from a person who has them.

Answer 5

Yes. Bedbugs can surpass through any form of contact; somewhat like lice.

Answer 6

Possibly.

Answer 7

They are NOT only in your bed.
