Bed bug eggs do not feed. Once the egg has hatched, the larvae, and nymphs require 5 blood meals to mature. These meals will come from a host (usually human), not from an adult bed bug.
Bed bugs do not live on humans, they live with humans. This being said, it is extremely unlikely that a bed bug would lay eggs on your body.

YES and you should get it checked out ABSOLUTELY NOT! Bed bugs lay eggs in crevices and dark, rough places.
To effectively identify and eliminate a bed bug cocoon in your home, you can start by thoroughly inspecting areas where bed bugs are commonly found, such as around the bed frame, mattress seams, and furniture. Look for small, oval-shaped casings that are translucent and may contain bed bug eggs. To eliminate the cocoon, you can vacuum the area to remove any visible signs of bed bugs and their eggs. Additionally, consider using a bed bug spray or contacting a professional pest control service for more thorough treatment.
Bed bugs are really tiny but some adults grow to an amazing and gross size of 4-5mm
Bed bug larvae are smaller and have a more elongated body shape compared to carpet beetle larvae. Bed bug larvae are typically reddish-brown in color, while carpet beetle larvae are usually brown or black with a striped pattern. Additionally, bed bug larvae feed exclusively on blood, while carpet beetle larvae feed on a variety of organic materials such as wool, fur, and feathers.
To effectively identify and eliminate bed bug eggs on wood surfaces in your home, you can use a flashlight to inspect the surfaces for tiny white or translucent eggs. To eliminate them, you can vacuum the area thoroughly, use a steamer to kill the eggs, and apply a residual insecticide specifically labeled for bed bugs. It's important to repeat these steps regularly to ensure all eggs are eliminated.
In a total vacuum I am sure they would die off. A vacuum cleaner will not kill them off but it is better to have them there than in the bed.
It's an unfortunate reality associated with globalization that bed bug infestations are on the rise. Pest control experts use chemicals to neutralize the adult population but the toxins do not kill the eggs. Steam is the only way to eliminate adult bed bugs and their eggs. Prepare your bed bug steamer according to instructions. Remove bed linens and seal them in a plastic bag for laundering while waiting for the unit to reach operating temperature. When the steamer is ready, steam the carpet, mattress piping, bed frame attachment points and other areas that harbor bed bugs.
Booklice are tiny insects with soft bodies and long antennae, typically pale in color. They are often found in damp, humid areas and feed on mold and fungi. Bed bug nymphs, on the other hand, are small, reddish-brown insects with flat bodies. They feed on blood and are commonly found in bedding and furniture. In terms of behavior, booklice are not harmful to humans and do not bite, while bed bug nymphs bite humans to feed on blood.
In a bed?
An electric bed bug heater works by raising the temperature in the infested area to a level that is lethal to bed bugs. The high heat penetrates into cracks and crevices where bed bugs hide, effectively killing them and their eggs. This method is effective because bed bugs are unable to survive in extreme temperatures.
