Bites

Bedbug bites may cause other symptoms and health issues. Serious allergic reactions including anaphylaxis from the injection of serum and other non-specific proteins have been documented, though rarely. As each bite takes a tiny amount of blood, chronic or severe infestation may lead to anemia. Scratching bites may lead to bacterial skin infection. Systemic poisoning may occur if the bites are numerous. The bite itself may be painful thus resulting in poor sleep and worse work performance.
