Bed Bug Pesticide

There are two main side effects that trouble people who get bitten. The first symptom is the unpleasant itching caused by the bites. People suffer from itching at the site of the bites to varying degrees. Some people hardly notice they have been bitten. Other people are not so lucky and develop very itchy raised red welts on their skin

The unlucky people who are more sensitive to the bites are at risk of developing skin infections. If they can't resist scratching the point of irritation, they can damage the skin and make it possible for infections to invade the body.

The other common side effect of the bites is not a physical problem caused by the actual bites. It is a psychological reaction to the presence of the blood sucking insects. Sufferers commonly develop symptoms such as sleeping disorders, depression, anxiety, and stress. These feelings are often rooted in the fact that a bed bug infestation is so difficult to eradicate that people feel helpless and vulnerable.

Sometimes people become literally too distressed to be able to sleep as a result of discovering that their home is infested by creepy crawlies. The inability to sleep can stem from a variety of emotions including fear of being bitten again while sleeping. Sometimes the emotional side effects start with being kept awake by painful itching bites. This lack of sleep then triggers depression and feelings of stress.

The threat of invasion by masses of bloodsucking insects invokes the fear that you can get dangerous diseases from them. These creatures go from person to person piercing skin and sucking blood. If their previous host was infected with Hepatitis, HIV or Aids, can a bed bug infect you with a deadly disease? Fear of a link between insect bites and serious disease is not just the product of an overactive imagination. Everyone knows mosquitoes spread malaria. And fleas transmit plague to humans. It doesn't require a great leap of imagination to see vampire bugs decimating the human race.

Scientific investigations show that there is no known evidence of bed bugs transmitting diseases to human beings through their bites. Researchers have discovered that the creatures carry organisms that can cause diseases in humans. However (according to a publication by the University of Kentucky) it "is considered unlikely" that these pathogens would be passed on through a bite from one of the insects.

As things stand currently, there is no reason for anyone to panic. People are probably more likely to suffer serious injury through misuse of pesticides than as a direct result of being fed on by bed bugs. Personally, though, I would like to have a firmer reassurance from the scientists than that they think serious bed bug bites side effects are "unlikely".

One thing is abundantly clear: we all need to protect ourselves against bedbug bites side effects and do our best to get rid of bed bugs now and eradicate them once and for all. We cannot afford to take chances with our health and the health of our loved ones.
