not likely. You can have heaps or none.
Employees who "have" bedbugs have a 10000 to one chance of bringing them out of their home or wherever the bedbugs reside (ie. their bed or furniture)
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.
Yes, if the bed is in an area infected with bedbugs you can and most likely will be bitten by bedbugs. You could also end up infecting your own home if they lay eggs on your clothing or if one hitches a ride with you when you go home.
Bedbugs are one of the hardest pests to get rid of, but exterminators do have means of exterminating the little buggers. The chemicals used are quite harsh, however it is necessary in order to eradicate the unwanted houseguests.
No, bed bugs do not fly. They only crawl from one place to another.
The important point to understand is it is not "YOU" that has bedbugs but a bed or sleeping place may have them which you use. It is possible in the very earliest stage of an infestation of a particular bed for there to be just one or two bedbugs that have set up their base near there perhaps for several weeks or longer. For example in a hotel bed used by five different people on five different nights booked in for bed and breakfast, every one of those five will have bedbugs, but only during the night they are sleeping in that hotel bed. This may well be before there is any major infestation which the hotel management only then may get made aware of. Also in a bed at your home you may just have one or two bedbugs feeding off whoever used that bed for a prolonged period, before a major infestation happens,. then you so become aware of a need to deal with a bedbug problem which you may not have originally been aware of. A serious bed infestation only starts happening when more and more eggs laid by bedbugs in or near that bed start hatching, and then when the nymphs become adult bedbugs they start laying more eggs, so more and more new bedbugs get born and the user of that bed finds them-self covered all over with red bite marks.
No that is unlikely though not totally impossible. You see the point is people do not have bedbugs and do not normally carry them around with them. Beds and homes do have bedbugs. But can I explain this better. The bedbugs will stay in hiding places in your bedding or near your bed and only come out at night when somebody is asleep in that bed to feed or else if they get disturbed, such as when you make your bed or tidy your room. When they come out at night, you will then get bitten because your bed is the problem not you. People's beds are in close proximity such as in a dormitory of a barrack room, then bedbugs in one person's bed do often move across to the neighbouring person's bed. In private houses or apartments too if one person sleeping in that home gets them in their bedroom and it gets infested, some bedbugs may in time move to other bedrooms in the same home and feed off the person using that bed, and so that bedroom may also become infested in time. The point to understand is bedbugs will multiply over a period of time if you have them anywhere in your home and they find people when asleep by your breath and that is what attracts them to you. So it is most important to get rid of them just as soon as you know you have a bedbug problem anywhere in the home. Do nothing and the problem will just get worse and worse as the months go by, and thenif somebody comes to visit that home they could end up unwittingly with a bedbug laying its eggs in their clothing and import it into their home. So your visitors home gets an infestation due to your negligence in not dealing with the problem.
Yes bedbugs "are able" to live alone although that is very unusual. But if just one or two bedbugs hatch or are otherwise brought into a home, and then if the male bedbugs have no opportunity to contact any female bedbugs, the few bedbugs may remain resident in that home alone for an indefinite period. During that time they will almost certainly have meals of the blood of any human or humans sleeping in a bed in that home for perhaps years. But even if the home is not lived in by any humans or animals for a prolonged period, bedbugs can still survive alone without feeding therein for a year or more, unless discovered and exterminated.But in most cases when bedbug eggs or live bedbugs first get into a residence there will be both male and female bedbugs in close proximity. So after a blood meal, and after being mounted by male bedbugs, the females will then lay eggs, e somewhere in or near the bed where the host sleeps. So after a week or so each batch of new eggs will hatch and hence new bedbug nymphs will be born. So the breeding will continue and multiply ad infinitum as the bedbug population gets larger and larger, until the infestation is discovered, dealt with and all the bedbugs and all their unhatched eggs are eventually destroyed.

I think you mean "contagious" and you need to understand a bedbugs are insects that lives in or near where humans sleep. They come out at night to feed, by sipping the blood of a person who is asleep. It is not the kind of "bug" hospital staff refer to as being an infection, like "asuperbug" which is not an insect. But if any bed in your home becomes infested with bedbugs, perhaps as a result of bedbugs breeding in increasing numbers in or near that bed, some bedbugs may soon detect the breath of somebody else asleep at a greater distance elsewhere in the home and so move to that other bed in same home, set up their base there and feed off the occupant of that bed. So in time in any home after one bed gets bedbugs they are likely in time to infest all beds in the same home, and may even spread to beds in a nearby home.
It is theoretically possible for a bedbug to transmit HIV from one person to another - specifically by biting one infected person then biting another and transferring the virus in the blood - but I don't know that this has been documented to happen.
What to do about bed bugsThere are a variety of treatments available for bedbug infestations. Before starting any treatment, however, it is important to understand that bedbugs can be very resilient and difficult to completely exterminate. This is because, like many insects, they might be spread out over an entire household making them hard to find. Bedbugs are also able to go for weeks or months without eating, meaning they can hide somewhere for that entire time and then emerge and reproduce. The pests are also highly resistant to the normal types of pesticides that are used in the home, so they cannot be killed with standard bug sprays.Since bedbugs are so resilient, and finding every area in a home where they might be living is difficult, often the best action to take when a severe infestation is suspected is to call a professional. A pest control specialist can use many methods to help destroy the bedbugs and their eggs throughout an entire household. They have access to special chemicals and other treatments that can be very effective, and repeat visits can ensure that the bugs do not return over time.If the bedbugs that are found appear to be localized to only a single piece of furniture like a mattress or chair, then it is possible to treat just that area. One effective way is to use a certain type of medical mattress bag or cushion bag to seal the area where the bedbugs are living so they eventually starve to death. This method does require keeping the mattress or cushion in question contained in the bag for up to a year.If there are only a few bedbugs and the infestation is small, then there are bedbug traps that are available. These are small disks that can be placed under the feet of beds, couches, and other furniture. The traps will prevent bedbugs from climbing into or out of the furniture, keeping them from nesting there. Care has to be taken, however, so that bedbugs are not unintentionally transmitted to the furniture by people, pets, and clothing.Bedbugs can be killed when they are on removable upholstery or bedding with heat. Exposing bedbugs to temperatures in excess of 113 degrees Fahrenheit will kill them. This can be achieved with a hot wash cycle, by boiling water, or with a hand steaming unit set to maximum temperatures. The heat not only kills bedbugs, but will also kill any eggs that the heat comes into contact will.
