Sorry - I am afraid the short answer to that is there is no chemical to put on your body that has ever proved effective in stopping or discouraging bedbugs from having your blood as their dinner, should they have taken up residence in or near any bed you are going to sleep in whether at home or staying somewhere else.
One way that might however help is not to be naked when in bed. Cover as much of your body as possible, such as with tight fitting pyjamas and socks. But really the only sure way to avoid bedbug bites is to exterminate them from your home if they are there, and I have explained how you can best do that in other answers. Also if you stay in a hotel make sure it is not on record on hotel websites as having had a bedbug problem. Also have a very thorough check in your hotel room or cabin on a ship to ensure there are no signs of bedbugs having been there before getting into that bed to sleep.

What does the simile barmy as a bed bug mean?
"barmy" just means crazy, mad "as barmy as a bedbug" is from Roald Dahl's "Matilda" and is just one of many examples of his use of animal imagery for comedic effect. It doesn't mean anything in itself, no-one would actually say this, as no-one would describe bedbugs as being crazy, and they aren't a creature associated with madness ;) unless you go mad with how itchy the bites are - I got bitten all over staying in a hostel in Rome once and it took a week for the bites to stop itching, another week for them to fade.... It's the juxtaposition of the two items which never usually appear together (unusual collocation) as well as the alliteration of 'b' which makes the simile amusing.

Can you get Bedbugs from a hug?
This is unlikely. You need to understand people do not normally carry bedbugs around with them. It isa bed not a person that gets infested with bedbugs! Thus whoever sleeps in an infested bed will have a bedbug problem only while they are using that bed, but when they get up and go elsewhere the bedbug problem no longer affects them. They may have bite marks on their body afterwards as a consequence of being bitten while in that bed but that does not mean they can pass their former bedbug problem to somebody else. If two people share use of an infested bed then both are equally likely to get bitten by one or more bedbugs while they are in that bed, and although this could happen during a hug, generally bedbugs only crawl on to you to have a meal when your body is still after detecting your sleeping CO2 breath. If you are making love your bodies will be moving around considerably so a bedbug is very unlikely to come on to you until later when it is safer for it to have its meal undisturbed.
