No unlike fleas, bedbugs never get under your skin. It will never be on your skin except when it is having its meal off you. When bedbugs sip your blood, usually while you are asleep in your bed in the middle of the night, each bedbug comes along the sheet to where you are lying and climbs or drops on toyour body. To protect itself before starting a meal, it injects a coagulant and also a kind of anaesthetic into you which makes the area around it numb so you can not normally feel anything when it is on you. and the coagulant stops your blood coming out too fast It then pierces your skin most usually on your lower limbs inserts a tiny tube into you and pumps the blood out of you through the tube into its stomach. This takes it about five minutes. lt then retracts the tube and jumps off you and crawls to its hiding place which may be in the bed structure, in your mattress, in the floor, in the furniture near your bed or in the walls. Only after it has gone will the anaesthetic effect wear off, and you may then itch maddeningly where the piercing of your skin took place and feel a need to scratch, but the bedbug now swollen with your blood inside, and is no longer on your body.
