How to handle bites after bedbugs: general rules and methods of treatment

Hello! I have repeatedly said that bedbugs are still an abomination. Itching much stronger than mosquitoes, cause all kinds of irritation, allergies ...

In this regard, I consider it my duty to tell you how to properly handle bites after bedbugs. The information in my material will help you deal with itching and the unpleasant consequences of these bites!

What do bug bites look like on a person?

Bedbug bites on a person’s body are not only unpleasant, but also dangerous. When combing painful areas, an infection easily penetrates the wound, and an inflammatory process develops.

With multiple bites, an allergic reaction often occurs, severe itching worries, the body is covered with blood crusts from active combing.

What to do if dangerous parasites are wound up in the house? How to distinguish a bug bite and a mosquito? How to smear affected areas? Answers to these and other questions related to obligate parasites are given by doctors and professional pest control.

Causes of bloodsucking parasites

Harmful insects live not only where there is a lot of old furniture, there is no order. Often blood-sucking pests settle in the homes of wealthy people with perfect cleanliness. The main pathways of parasites:

• purchase of new and antique furniture;
• purchase of used things, bed linen "with hands";
• return from travel (parasites often “move” to a new house in suitcases after visiting hotels and rented apartments);
• cracks in window sills, baseboards, floor, mess, accumulation of trash;
• the fight against harmful insects in neighboring apartments (parasites are looking for new owners, they penetrate into other rooms through stranglers, open windows.).

Characteristic signs and symptoms of bites

What do bug bites look like on a human body? Not everyone knows the correct answer to this question. For this reason, many people confuse the bites of mosquitoes and bedbugs, do not always start the fight against dangerous parasites on time.

Five signs of bedbugs: a “path” is visible on the body:

1. bugs drink blood in one place, then move to another. Tiny wounds are arranged in a chain with a distance of red itchy dots a few centimeters from each other;
2. a characteristic symptom of a bug bite - in the center of a tiny wound there is a red spot - a dried-up drop of blood indicating the place of puncture of the skin;
3. the bite site is very itchy; coping with discomfort without local remedies and antihistamines is often impossible. With multiple bites around the wounds, a swelling appears, redness, areas of scratching become inflamed;
4. in the morning, red-brown spots are visible on the bed - this is blood from wounds at the site of bedbugs. In a dream, a person turns over, crushes saturated insects, blood is also released;
5. with an abundance of obligate parasites, bed linen and a sleeping place get an unpleasant odor, black dots appear on the walls and headboard (waste products of biting insects).

To owners a note:

• mosquitoes give out their presence with an unpleasant squeak, bugs act silently;
• mosquitoes disturb the owners for a long time, attack every night. Bed bugs eat every few days, bites appear periodically;
• in the center of the wound, after a bug attack, a tiny drop of blood is always visible, the body is very itchy. Mosquito bites are less painful, the affected area is more like a swelling with a dot inside the red-pink “circle”;
• mosquitoes easily move from room to room, quickly find a "victim". A saturated bug is a slow creature, it bites a person in a permanent place. If the owner always rests in bed, but decided to move the berth on the sofa to another room, the parasites will not immediately find it, the bites will resume only after a few days.

What is dangerous biting parasites

It is not by chance that people fear the presence of bugs in the house:

1. when combing itchy wounds, an infection easily penetrates the body, a serious inflammatory process is possible;
2. allergic reactions are another unpleasant consequence of an attack of obligate parasites;
3. discomfort, irritability, restless sleep, unpleasant appearance of combed wounds also bother a person.

Prevention of the appearance of bugs in the house

Bed bugs in the house - this is a real disaster. Harmful insects hide not only in bed linen, but also in clothes, upholstery, behind the frames of paintings and antique mirrors, in the crevices of doors and window sills.

How to act:

• check new furniture, interior items of the “used” category. Traces of the activity of bugs in the form of black dots indicate the presence of parasites that feed on blood;
• when buying antiques, carefully inspect furniture, mirrors so as not to bring parasites home;

• thoroughly vacuum carpets, floor paths, minimize the amount of unnecessary objects that accumulate dust;
• iron the sheets with a hot iron, do not allow sleep on stale sheets;
• if there is an incomprehensible smell in the bed, if there are brown spots on the bed, to inspect the places where bugs can live, be sure to look in the sofa and cupboard, under the carpet, for mirrors and paintings;
• if the guesses about the penetration of bloodsucking parasites have been confirmed, independently treat the apartment or house with insecticides, drugs with a natural base or call the pest control. The earlier the fight against bedbugs is started, the sooner you can get rid of unpleasant "neighbors".

Ointments and gels for the treatment of bedbugs

Starting independent treatment and the use of medicines at your discretion, it is important to make sure that the bite really belongs to a bed bug.A person who has never encountered such a problem can easily think that he has been bitten by a mosquito or other insect.

Symptoms of bug bites:

1. redness of the skin;
2. round puffiness;
3. itching
4. in rare cases, allergic reactions occur;
5. a clear path of bites - from three to five red round spots at a distance of two to four centimeters.

What are the remedies for bite bugs

The composition of each product includes a base in which the active substance is dissolved in a certain proportion.

• Gel. The basis of the drug is water, so the active substance is completely dissolved. After use, the drug is easily washed off the skin and clothing.
• Ointment. In such a drug, the active substance does not completely dissolve in the base. This is due to the fact that in ointments the base is fatty, due to which the agent is more slowly absorbed into the skin and has a longer effect.
• Cream. It contains less fat in comparison with ointment, however, traces of the medicine are quite difficult to remove from clothing.

The most effective drugs against bedbugs

Bed bugs belong to blood-sucking insects such as mosquitoes. To treat their bites, you can use popular medicines that are effective in attacking parasites.

Fenistil gel

This is an effective antipruritic drug, the active substance of which (dimethindene maleate) blocks the receptors responsible for the formation of pustules, itching and inflammation. The drug is prescribed for insect bites, various allergic reactions in the form of swelling and burning.

Fenistil is available not only in the form of a gel, but also drops and emulsions. It is well absorbed into the skin. When using it, bites need to be lubricated 2-4 times a day.

Psilo-balm (gel)

The active ingredient of the drug is the powerful component diphenhydramine (diphenhydramine). The substance has a complex effect:

1. blocks the receptors responsible for the occurrence of itching;
2. reduces vascular permeability;
3. eliminates puffiness of soft tissues;
4. cooling effect.

The gel is used when it is necessary to quickly eliminate pain after a bite and dry the crusts.

Elidel (cream)

The tool is used if, due to an insect bite, serious complications arise in the form of atopic dermatitis or eczema.

The active substance of the cream - pimecrolimus - has a very powerful anti-inflammatory and regenerative effects. It is not recommended to be applied to damaged skin areas in which an infection develops (fungal or bacterial).

Bepanten (cream and ointment)

This drug is made on the basis of a vitamin B group - dexpanthenol. Thus, the product effectively restores, heals damaged areas of soft tissues and skin, and also moisturizes them.

In this case, the drug does not have anti-inflammatory effects and eliminates itching. Bepanten is most effective for moderate damage to the skin from insect bites: slight redness and slight swelling.

Propolis Ointment

When using such medications, it is important to remember that propolis is a strong allergen, especially when it comes to treating bites in children. With extreme caution, ointments are used if the patient is already allergic to pollen. Propolis treatment causes cross allergies.

When to see a doctor

Ointments, creams and gels can cope with minor manifestations from bedbug bites such as itching, slight swelling and redness. If the consequences of an insect attack are more serious, antihistamines such as loratidine should be taken.

It is not recommended to postpone a visit to the hospital if the body has reacted sharply to a bug bite:

• difficulty breathing;
• the temperature rises sharply;
• chills appear;
• swelling extends to the entire limb or becomes extensive;
• the rash spreads to the entire body;
• nausea develops;
• loss of consciousness.

Such symptoms, as a rule, have bites of bees and wasps, but if a person is prone to allergic reactions, an attack of bed bugs can also cause similar complications.

If the first-aid kit did not have any drugs suitable for the action, alternative methods of treatment are useful:

1. activated carbon intake;
2. treatment of affected skin with a solution of baking soda;
3. processing bites with aloe juice;
4. washing the wounds with a decoction of St. John's wort, it is enough to insist a tablespoon of dry grass in a glass of boiling water, moisten cotton swabs and wipe the places of bites;
5. treatment of affected skin with strong brewed tea;
6. to relieve itching and reduce swelling, you can attach a piece of ice to the bite.

It is important to carefully monitor the reaction of the skin and body to the drugs used. For any complications, discontinue treatment on your own and take the help of a specialist.

How to treat homebug bites

Bed bugs are one of the most unpleasant domestic parasites. They feed on human blood, biting him at night. During the bite, the parasite injects a special anesthetic substance that does not allow you to feel anything unpleasant at the moment. The consequences are noted a little later - in the morning.

The obvious question arises - how to get rid of bug bites? To begin with, if the parasites themselves have not yet been seen in the house, it is important to understand that the red itchy marks on the skin appeared precisely because of them, to find out what symptoms appear. Then - pick up ointment or folk remedy.

Symptoms of bug bites

There are several signs by which you can determine that it was the bedbugs that bit you, and not the mosquito. Or that this is not an allergic reaction to something in the setting of an apartment. The main symptoms are:

• Red spots on the skin, remotely resembling mosquito bites.
• Unpleasant itching, which is impossible to get rid of throughout the day.
• The spots are located in a series or track in one place on the skin.

The bug prefers to eat in one place on the body, and often not one, but in the company of its fellow parasites. Therefore, lesions on the skin are observed in a series, are also grouped in one place.

If such symptoms began to appear, it is most likely time to start looking for insects in all the cracks in your bed. It is bites that become the first sign of infection in your home. And they need to begin to be treated.

If you are not sure that the symptoms are due to insects that you didn’t see in your home, consult a dermatologist. It is not always possible to independently determine one’s self.

Bite hazard

If you were bitten by bugs, it is not as scary as it might seem. There is no particular danger in many cases, but you can’t let it drift - you need to do something with bites.

The main danger is a possible allergic reaction. When an allergy occurs, the consequences can be very unpleasant, up to anaphylactic shock. Therefore, it is important to start treating damaged areas on human skin in a timely manner.

However, blood poisoning can occur precisely because of infection in an open wound. Treatment for bites should be started promptly before the itching becomes unbearable and combing to the blood begins. A special antiseptic ointment or a suitable folk method can help relieve discomfort.

Not everyone tolerates such biting neighbors morally. Bites on human skin can turn into increased stress, depression and somatic diseases that arise on this soil. The most common are problems with blood pressure, which will then have to be treated for the rest of your life.

Vital activity of a bug

These bloodsuckers, which are also called "red uniforms", feed on the blood of humans and animals at all phases of development. For one "lunch" the bug can drink blood up to 7 ml, and this is two times more than its own mass.

The need for replenishment of their reserves in the night hunter arises every 5-10 days. To get enough blood, an adult bug can spend up to half an hour. During her life, one female is able to lay 500 eggs. The presence of bugs in the room can be determined by the faint smell of almonds or spoiled raspberries.

Damaged skin areas must be treated. The least that can be done in this case is to treat the bite site with alcohol or soapy water to prevent suppuration, which gives a much more unpleasant sensation than itching.

Unfortunately, despite the rapid development of medicine, there are no means to prevent damage to the skin by bed bloodsuckers. But, after treating the bites of bugs, you can apply a special ointment to the affected area.

It can be purchased at the pharmacy. If you have to share your house with such unpleasant neighbors, then you will need such a tool more than once.

There is a special cream that can be used if the bug bites itch. It will alleviate discomfort and relieve irritation. Another tool that can be used in this case is a universal patch for biting all insects.

Other medicines may also be suitable. For example, creams with a local antiseptic, edema relievers, antihistamines that reduce the allergic reaction. And there is nothing easier than using greenbacks. Although it may not all welcome her, because of the not very aesthetic appearance. But it’s better to treat the wound.
