Next up – Bed Bug Anti-Histamines   

/in /by

We all know by now that bed bugs aren’t dangerous and don’t spread disease but they do feed on our blood, cause us rashes and allergic reactions. Now it has been discovered that bed bug feces contains a chemical that dawdles after the insects have been eradicated and these chemicals -histamines may cause allergic reactions in form of rashes and breathing difficulties. In fact, the histamine levels can remain high for 6 months after the bed bugs have been treated. A study found higher levels of histamine in the apartments that have been treated for bed bugs can be over 21 times higher than histamine levels that did not experience bed bug issues. This might change the way we view bed bugs and how we deal with infestations in the future.
