What if your left vaginal lip feels like a bug bite but there is nothing there but the rest of your vagina hurts and burns and itches?

It could be a mouth ulcer or a form of mouth herpes. Go to your pharmacist for some cream to apply to your lip and this will clear up the infection. Good luck.

You idjiot! She said Vaginal lip not mouth lip. I think the biggest clue would have been "Vaginal" or even so, who has a left lip on their mouth? And what about the burning and itching?? Sounds to me like a bacterial infection. If there is no smell or discharge more than likely that is what it is. Otherwise it is a yeast infections. I have a bacterial one right now and omggggggg does it burn and itch!!!!

Are the kissing bug and the bED bug are the same?

No they are from different insect families. The bedbug is from the Cimicadae family, kissing bugs are of the insect family Triatominae. Bedbugs are attracted to make their home in or near somebody's bed by detecting the CO2 breath of the person asleep. They are called bedbugs because they are normally found in or near a bed and because they bite the occupant of that bed when he or she is asleep in it. They are becoming increasingly common all over the world. Kissing bugs are only found in certain countries and are very much rarer, and their bite is even more unpleasant than a bedbug's bite. They are called kissing bugs because they only seem to bite people on their face, where somebody kisses you. But some kissing bugs are also called assassin bugs and they actually attack and eat live bedbugs, particularly bedbugs that have recently had a meal of some person's blood.

Can you get rid of mites or bed bugs in papers and VHS tapes?

My experience is in the field of bed bugs, and to that, I will tell you that it is possible to get rid of bed bugs in papers and vhs tapes. Depending on your location, there are two products available that are likely to help you, Nu-Van Pest strips, and a product called No Pest strips. The strips can be placed into a sealed container with the items (I suggest a garbage bag with all openings duct taped shut), and kept sealed for 30-45 days. During this time the strips, which contain a pesticide, will attract and kill any bed bugs hiding in the items. I am not certain if the same process would work for mites, though I have heard it will.

Are bedbug bites dangerous?

For most people they are just an extremely irritating annoyance rather than a danger. But because bedbugs inject both a anaesthetic and a coagulant into everybody before they suck the person's blood and while the person is usually in a deep sleep, one danger is that when the anaesthetic effect wears off the itch can feel so irritating that the person may scratch where the wound in their limb is frantically to get relief either while still asleep or after waking. Scratching a wound particularly if the person's finger nails are not clean could inject dirt into the bloodstream. Also about one person in five is apparently allergic to the substances the bedbug injects into them and this can cause more dangerous side effects such as swelling, chronic or acute rashes or in rare cases broncho-spasm or anaphylactic shock. Also if a bed is very heavily infested so the sleeper is bitten by a large number of bedbugs while asleep successively over a prolonged period, anaemia can occasionally be caused, which can lead to fatigues and headaches and in very isolated cases breathlessness and pain in the centre of the chest. But such instances are the exception not the rule.

What to do to eliminate bugs in the house that bite only one person?

Well, in the case of bed bugs they are most definitely not only biting one person.

But there is only one way to get rid of bed bugs and that is vapor. You have to steam your mattresses and other infested items thoroughly in order to rid yourself of them.
