How Bedbugs Can Lead To Anemia

Culprit For Anemia

Bedbugs are carriers of many human diseases. Even so, they have never been found to transmit any diseases to their human hosts. People who have been infested by bedbugs have shown abnormally low iron in their blood samples with no signs of outward or inward bleeding. When the number of bedbugs in the home becomes out of control, the amount of blood they consume from its inhabitants raises to noticeable quantities. Several bites a night puts the body in a position where it cannot replenish the necessary blood supply. Those who already have a low-iron count are more prone to developing anemia after a bedbug infestation. This includes seniors, children, and people with a genetic predisposition to anemia.
