When dealing with bed lice, it is necessary to distinguish between bed bugs and body lice for proper extermination. Bed bugs are brown in color, and body lice are transparent but turn into a brown color after filling up with human blood. Bed bugs and body lice are both parasites that feed on human blood. Bed bugs are bigger than body lice and, if numerous, can spread a foul odor through a room. Bed bugs leave multiple small bite marks that may or may not cause itchiness. Body lice leave one small bite that do cause itches in most people.
