What are the effects might bedbugs have on people?
The effect of having bedbugs in your bed can be very different on different people. With some even with a severe bedbug infestation of their bed they may not observe any noticeable effect even though the bedbugs have had numerous meals off them while they are asleep. But with some other people having bedbugs in their bed can cause very bad skin rashes or conspicuous blisters which can be mistaken for scabies or shingles and be very painful. Most people are somewhere between these two extremes.
This variation is mainly because some people are allergic to the coagulant/anaesthetic chemical a bedbug injects into them before commencing its meal some are not. So while any person does not feel anything during the 5 minutes or so during the night while a bedbug is actually on them having its meal, and will very probably remain asleep, when the anaesthetic wears off it may then start to itch, perhaps maddeningly where the bedbug pierced their skin.This may cause an urge to scratch vigorously, either while still asleep or after waking, to try to obtain relief. In some extreme cases that may lead to skin poisoning particularly if they have dirty finger nails while scratching.
But with certain people, it can take many days after a bedbug has had a meal before the big very nasty looking red blisters appear with some people.There are other unpleasant effects caused to some people. Insomnia can be caused particularly if the person is aware his bed has a problem or other psychological damage to them. This can lead to many sleepless nights leading to fatigue, acute tiredness during the day perhaps causing him or her to make mistakes at work in the daytime or emotional problems like bad tempered outbursts.
Another effect of sleeping in an infested bed with a few people can be anaemia due to the bedbug's meal taking away oxygen carrying pigments from the human's bloodstream so leading to destruction of their red blood cells, and the consequences of that can be failure of normal maturation of their bone marrow and general feeling of weakness. But most victims of bedbugs, whether male or female, will not suffer these kind of effects and, as stated above, some never even realise they have bedbugs in their bed. Everybody is different.
What are the worst things to do when trying to figure out how to get rid of bedbugs?
Finding out they actually spread if you move couches, sofas or other furniture. To keep my bed bed bug free, I threw away my wooden headboard. Though I loved the way it looked, I had found many eggs there and the thought of keeping it stressed me out. Instead, I bought a cheap metal frame. Bed bugs don't like to live in metal. I moved the bed a foot from the wall on all sides so no bed bugs could crawl up the wall into the bed. I placed each foot of the bed frame in special bed bug traps. You can make traps yourself by pouring mineral oil in a small container and sticking the foot of each bed in the container. You could also coat the leg of each bed in double-sided carpet tape.This way you can see if any bugs are trying to get to you.

How do you know if bedbugs are under your skin?
Because unlike certain other inspects bedbugsdo not go under people's skin. Each bedbug climbs on top of your skin during the night, normally while you are fast asleep and stays on your skin only for a maximum of about 5 to 10 minutes while having their meal, which is some of your blood. After they have completed that meal they then leave you and crawl back to their hiding place, which will usually be in a crack or crevice very near to where you sleep such as in your mattress.
When first on your skin they inject an anaesthetic into you before piercing your skin with a tiny very sharp point and it then inserts a tiny tube through which it slowly sips the blood out of you into its mouth. You will not normally feel anything during its meal, even if you are awake because the anaesthetic makes it numb and because they only come out in the darkness you are unlikely to see them, except in the daytime if you happen to disturb one or more in their hiding place, such as when making your bed or turning your mattress over.
The way you usually discover that bedbugs have been on you is by the little red marks you will see on your skin in daylight where bedbugs have had meals of you during one or more night times. After the anaesthetic has worn off the area of your skin where they pierced you may also itch maddeningly, but this only happens to certain people.
Does Rebuilding your room get rid of bed bugs?
No, they eventually spread in your whole place hiding behind light switches, any cracks, bedding, duvets and cloths..etc

How do you know if you got bitten at home or in doctor's office by bed bugs?
If you don't feel the bite, you won't. Even if you got bitten in the doctor's office the bug might have been on your clothing when you left your house.
Yes, bedbugs can occasionally get into appliances, but it's not common. They typically prefer hiding in areas close to their food source, like beds and furniture. However, they may find their way into crevices or parts of appliances if they are in proximity to infested areas. Regular cleaning and inspection can help prevent their spread to appliances and other areas of the home.
No I am sorry that is not the way to get rid of a bedbug infestation. That outside temperature is just not going to kill your bedbugs! The reason is firstly studies have found the thermal point that kills bedbugs is much higher than that i.e. 47.8 degrees Celsius and also a constant exposure of 20 minutes or more is needed to kill them with heat, while unhatched bedbug eggs need to be exposed to that temperature constantly for 90 minutes to destroy them all.
In other words when you bring your stuff back inside there will almost definitely still be an uncertain number of surviving live adult bedbugs and perhaps many more unhatched eggs so you are likely to get further visits from increasing numbers of them.
But also bear in mind that if you think you are getting bitten by bedbugs at night in your bed, that means after each bedbug has enjoyed its meal of your blood, after finishing its meal each bedbug now engorged with your blood will then crawl back to its daytime base to sleep, and worse still each female bedbug will probably lay another batch of about half a dozen eggs somewhere.
The point is there are also a wide variety of places the bedbugs may reside in during the day other than in your mattress or your bed's structure or in bedside furniture. They commonly for example go through a tiny gap in the wall or floorboards or even ceiling or in your fixed furniture like wardrobe, so will not be accessible in the day time. More and more eggs may well be getting laid down at such an inaccessible place you can not get at each day. Which means when these eggs hatch and in time become adult bedbugs your infestation will just get worse and worse.
No - to get rid of a bedbug infestation you will probably need to call in a ptofessional pest exterminator and they may need to use their specially trained dogs to sniff out and locate where the bedbug nests and unhatched eggs are before commencing the extermination, and they usually need several visits to complete the job.
It is possible to do it yourself if you cannot afford to call in a professional exterminator. If so you can try steam heating inside the house but doing it that way is very slow as you do need to concentrate the heat at every crack and crevice anywhere in the bedroom ideally with equipment radiating at a concentrated temperature of at least 70 degrees Celsius, and you need to do steaming into every inch of surface. All experiences suggest even then heat treatment with a steamer can substantially reduce numbers but will not on its own get rid of an infestation. Freezing is a better method but that too is not a simple job either.
