Universal City Bed Bug Infestation Lawyer

Bed bugs are small, brown insects that are oval in shape. They feed off of the blood of humans and other animals, such as pets in a household. These pests are very small, measuring approximately the same size as an apple seed. Their body becomes engorged after they have eaten and they turn red in color. As their name indicates, bed bugs hide in mattresses, box springs, bed frames, and headboards. When people are asleep, they then come out to feed. However, bed bugs can be found in other types of furniture as well, including rugs, carpet, furniture, and floor crevices. Bed bugs are more than just a nuisance. They can cause serious harm. If you or someone you love has suffered due to an infestation, you may be eligible for compensation. Our Universal City bed bug infestation lawyer can help you get it.

Harm Caused by Bed Bug Infestations

The most common harm caused by bed bugs is the red, itchy bites they leave behind after they feed. At first, these bites may be painless. Over time, however, they can turn into red, itchy welts. People may also suffer hives when there are bed bugs in their home. Many people mistake bed bug bites for flea bites. Unlike flea bites, though, those caused by bed bugs can be found anywhere on the body and not just predominantly the ankle. Bed bug bites also do not have a red center, the same way flea bites do.

When people are allergic to bed bug bites, it can cause serious harm. The longer a person is exposed, the more likely it is that an allergy will develop. Additionally, the bites themselves can also cause serious harm, such as severe infections and permanent scarring.

Bed bugs also do more than just physical harm. They can also result in emotional distress that prevents a person from sleeping because they do not want to be bitten. This lack of sleep can cause extreme fatigue, an inability to concentrate, anxiety, and other types of harm.
