Bedbug Allergy

Bedbug allergy refers to an allergic reaction triggered by the bites of bedbugs, small parasitic insects that feed on human blood. When bedbugs bite, they inject saliva that can cause redness, itching, and swelling in some individuals. For those with a sensitivity, this reaction can be more severe, leading to hives or respiratory symptoms. Bedbug allergies are part of a broader category of insect allergies, which can include reactions to other insects like mosquitoes or bees. Effective management includes avoiding bedbug exposure and seeking medical advice for treatment options to alleviate symptoms.
