The resurgence of bed bugs in recent years has brought renewed relevance to the old saying, "Sleep tight. Don't let the bed bugs bite." Almost unheard of after World War II, the ban on DDT and the increase in international travel are largely to blame for their reemergence, and while beds may be ground zero for these pesky bugs, they can be found almost anywhere, including hospitals, airplanes, movie theaters and even department stores.

Unless a person has an allergic reaction to a bed bug bite, the physical health effects consist of "itchy" and "annoying" unsightly red welts. These can be treated with an oral antibiotic or hydrocortisone cream. While there is no evidence that bed bugs spread any diseases, there can be lasting emotional and psychological effects from an infestation.

Bed bugs are prolific little pests. An adult female can lay up to 5 eggs a day, which, under the right circumstances, can cause a small infestation to become a large problem very quickly. Bed bugs will hitch a ride in luggage, backpacks, on clothing or in shoes to travel from place to place. They are impartial snackers, feeding on any warm body regardless of status or cleanliness. Even the most expensive hotels are reporting bed bug problems these days.

Red, itchy welts on your skin (a red dot with a lighter red ring around it) are the most obvious sign that you have been bitten by a bed bug.

Look for small reddish brown dots (droppings and blood spots) on bed linens.

You may find eggs or molted skin on bed linens or the mattress.

Bed bugs themselves are often hard to spot, since they typically come out at night. Look for a small reddish brown oval-shaped bug about the size of an apple seed.

In severe cases with heavy infestation, a sweet smelling "buggy" odor may be noticeable.
