How long do the red, itchy bumps from bed bug bites last?Also, what are the differences between bites from bed bugs, spiders, and ants?
Bed bug bites usually last a few days. There are cases where some people, if bitten, don't develop much of a reaction at all, but others can develop intense itching and an allergic response. The difference between bed bug and other insects bites are the bites from bed bugs usually appear as small red bumps that often occur in a linear pattern (they call it breakfast, lunch and dinner) but can grow to large red welts in some people. Spider, ants and mosquito bites are mostly isolated bite marks however with bed bugs, new bites marks will appear every day since they stay hidden in your bed and come out to feast when you are asleep. Usually the first signs of a bed bug problem are when you wake up in the morning to strange bite marks and blood stains on the mattress sheets.
