Bed Bug Basics
This video will give you some basic info on bed bugs. These creatures are annoying and nobody wants them in his/her home. They suck your blood during the night and you cannot even feel the bites. You will see the bites after a couple of days. Most people cannot recognize the bites, and they first think it is some kind of allergy. However, these bumps are reddish and very itchy, usually grouped on one’s face, neck, forearms and shoulders. The chest area can also be affected. If you spot the rash, it is very important not to scratch it. However, people have problems during sleep. When we are awake, we can control our own reaction to itchiness and irritation, but once we fall asleep, we instinctively scratch the skin. Dermatologists recommend the use of calming lotions and creams before going to bed. You can also find some good products designed for preventing bedbugs from biting you during sleep. You can also use some home remedies, like calamine lotion and lavender oil.
