How do the bed bugs drink blood?

Answer 1

Bedbugs eat the blood of humans. They do this by crawling on to the body of a person, usually while that person is asleep in their bed during the night. They bedbug can detect the CO2 the sleeping person breathes out. After crawling along the sheet the bedbug climbs on to on to a part of the person's body, usually a limb. to have its meal.

The bedbug will pierce their skin and inject an anaesthetic and coagulant into the person's blood stream. That means the person will not feel anything while the bedbug then inserts a tiny tube into the person's bloodstream and starts sipping a small quantity of the sleeping person's blood which comes out of the person slowly because of the effect of the coagulant.

Completion of the meal will normally take the bedbug 5 to 10 minutes. After completion of the meal the now engorged bedbug will now crawl off the person and back along the sheet to return to its hiding place which is very often in the folds of the bed's mattress.

The person does not usually wake up while the bedbug is having its meal, but it may start to itch maddeningly when the anaesthetic wears off making him scratch vigorously to gain relief and in time a nasty looking red rash will appear on the person's skin at the place the bedbug had its meal on them.
