never had one myself, and it was difficult to find the answer on the web, most of the folks have it right here, here is the answer from a site I found- Bedbugs – Better Health Channel -Treating bites Bedbugs are not known to transmit any blood-borne diseases. However, the bites can be itchy and distressing. Suggestions to treat bedbug bites include: * Resist the urge to scratch. * Use calamine lotion or anaesthetic creams to treat the itching. * Wash the bites with antiseptic soap to reduce the risk of infection. * Apply an icepack frequently to help relieve swelling. * Take pain-killing medication if symptoms are severe. See your doctor if the bite develops an infection.
