There are many bugs living inside your body. They all live in different places. Some live in your heart while others can live in the stomach or the brain. Every 4 months or so bugs have the opportunity to go on holiday. This involves them walking to their nearest airport and catching a plane to other organs. Some bugs have evolved to create shops where they sell their merchandise to other bugs who have come on holiday from another organ. Many people do not believe that this is happening but this is all a part of nature and is happening to everybody.

∙ 13y agoBed bugs "bite" in much the same way as a mosquito does. Not everyone is affected by the bites, and you will only have a reaction if you are allergic. If you are experiencing redness, swelling, itching or irritation, the following may help.
The following are the Top Treatments we have found to be successful.
- Do not scratch the bite.
- To ease itching, use an anesthetic cream
- Calamine lotion can be used to ease itching.
- Creams and lotions created for mosquito bites will effectively reduce itching.
- When applied directly to the bite, Peppermint oils and extracts will remove the itch.
- The use of over-the-counter Benadryl can help to reduce the allergic reaction.
- Apply ice on and around the bite to reduce swelling
- Wear loose fitting clothing in the areas where bites are apparent. This will reduce the irritation
- Should the bite become infected, or symptoms to not begin to diminish, contact your physician immediately.
- Have your home/office inspected and treated for bed bugs - while this may seem cliche, the best treatment for bed bug bites is the extermination of the bugs themselves.
