Bed bug bites, while being annoying and unsightly, are normally not dangerous unless you are allergic to them. Unlike mosquitoes and sometimes fleas, bed bugs are not known to carry disease, so for most people, as long as you don’t scratch them and get a secondary infection as a result, they will eventually go away. Treat them as you would a mosquito bite.

Of course it goes without saying that you MUST eradicate any bed bug infestations you have immediately. One of the biggest health risks with bed bugs is becoming anemic through loss of blood.
