Symptoms of Bedbug Infestation
Bite marks appear on the skin sometime between a few hours to 10 days after being bitten. They may look like any of the following: Tiny holes only Purplish flat spots Red spots, solid raised bumps, or hives (wheals) that are often itchy and have a tiny hole in the center Blisters The bites are painless but can become itchy in some people. They may appear in line-like patterns or may be seen in clusters. Older adults develop symptoms less often than younger people. The bite marks go away after about 1 week. If people scratch the bites, they may develop an infection. People may be anxious about the difficulty and expense of getting rid of a bedbug infestation. They may also experience emotional distress because they may no longer be invited to others' homes or may be shunned by family and friends, or they may isolate themselves to avoid spreading the bugs.
