Do you have bedbugs if you get bitten on your sofa and mattress and the bites go away relatively quickly?
It is difficult to say from information you give. People do not "have" bedbugs beds do,
But "bed" means somewhere people sleep, which includes all kinds of bed structures including sofas or any other dossing down area in any place. It is therefore quite possible if you see little red marks on your skin and it itches after you wake up from sleeping anywhere it could well be bedbugs. But it could equally well be another sort of insect, such as mosquitoes or fleas, that is feeding off your blood.
Fleas are most likely if you have pets in your home, such as cat or dog, and fleas normally like people who are dirty to feed on, whereas bedbugs seem to feed on even the most spotlessly clean people and do not associate with pets. Mosquitoes are not particular but need water, such as rain to exist which neither bedbugs nor fleas do.
If during the day when tidying up your living room or making the bed you do see brown flat looking insects running around very fast when you disturb them trying to get out of the light, then you could well have bedbugs in your home.
Be aware the bedbug biting you is only on your body for about 5 to 10 minutes at most usually much less, and most usually they will only feed off people who are asleep and when it is dark, whereas fleas may stay on your body and go under your skin as they live on a host not hide in the bed or near it like bedbugs do.
Bedbugs only come out of their hiding place to have their meal for about these 5 minutes, then they return to their hiding place usually long before you wake up.
So they may be difficult to spot, and during the 5 minutes or so each bedbug is actually on your skin sucking your blood you do not normally feel anything, because it injects an anaesthetic into you before piercing your skin to insert the tiny tube through which it sips your blood. You will only start to itch where it has been when the anaesthetic it injected into you has worn off, then with some people the itch can be absolutely maddening, but others hardly notice anything.
Marks on your skin also vary a lot in appearance from person to person after bedbug bites. Another clue that there may be bedbugs in your home is if you see little red marks of blood on your bedding, particularly on sheets or pillow case or on the sofa or on the walls near where people sleep.

Why do some people get bit by bedbugs and others don't?
I suspect that everyone gets bitten by bed bugs, but the bites only get inflamed on people who have an allergy to their saliva. Otherwise, the bites are unnoticeable.
Do bedbugs eat anybody's blood?
Yes, bedbugs apparently feed on anybody. Clean people are just as likely to be a bedbug's meal as are filthy people. But people are different as to how they react to being bitten by bedbugs. Some show virtually no marks where bedbugs have fed off them, many come out in little red marks resembling mosquito bites but usually in lines of three, while others come out in very large ugly looking rashes or lacerations over large areas of their skin, usually on their back or limbs.
Is it possible that a person with a disease like HIV or tuberculosis once bitten by bedbugs can be also have this kind of disease to a normal person?
NO. that is not possible. Unlike certain other insects, bedbugs can not pass on any such diseases from one person they bite in one bed to another person they bitein either the same bed or another bed.

Can bed bugs kill a person?
No that is extremely unlikely if not impossible. Being bitten by bedbugs can be very unpleasant to some people in causing their skin to come out in painful ugly looking blisters or rashes, others people hardly notice any effects. But bedbugs, unlike fleas or mosquitoes, do not transmit any diseases when they suck people's blood.
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.
You have bed bug bites but you don't have bed bugs Where did the bed bug bites come from?
If you don't have bedbugs your bites are not from bedbugs, or you are being bitten while you are somewhere else. Bedbug bites are commonly confused with flea bites and mosquito bites. There is also a skin rash called Pityriasis Rosea that may be caused by a virus and that may look like Bed Bug bites at first. If you think you have a Bedbug bite go to a doctor, have a specialist inspect your home for bedbugs, or research about what Bedbug bites look like. Bedbugs are not known to transmit diseases or parasites to people, but their bits can be painful and worrisome.
Can bedbugs harm bite?
If you mean can it harm your health and well being if you have bedbugs in your bed, the answer is YES. But let me explain this. Unlike certain other insects ( for example fleas, ticks, certain mosquitoes and certain spiders) that feast on human blood, bedbugs after their meal are not known to leave any harmful single celled microorganisms known medically as pathogenic bacteria in your blood like for example anopheles mosquitoes may do after they have bitten you.BUT......that does not mean that if you find your bed has become infested with bedbugs, you have absolutely nothing to be concerned about, because being bitten by bedbugs can still cause you some considerable discomfort to some people including maddening itching, unsightly red marks over parts of you used to extract your blood from you and they often use the beds of people they feed on not only as a banqueting hall but also as their lavatory! So after their night time visits to that bed they leave disgusting looking red spots and discarded nymph skins all over your bed linen.Worse, if you get bitten in bed by a considerable number of bedbugs, and so lose a big quantity of your blood's haemoglobin so causing you to have a deficiency of a deficiency of B12 vitamins , the consequence of that can be you get megaloblastic anaemia.More of a concern once you do get a bedbug infestation in your home, they breed extremely rapidly. So if you have (say) a population of just 20 bedbugs in your home in June and fail to take action to get rid of them, because each female lays about 10 eggs per 24 hours, that means by December the bedbug population resident in your home is likely to have increased to over 3,000 bedbugs all seeking out sleeping humans to feast on in or near that residence night after night!
