Can Bug Bites Lead To Anaphylactic Shock In A Child?
Good evening, i have recently discovered that I brought a few bed bug eggs in my pillows or luggage when I was at a hotel. I had my home professionally treated today. The exterminator only found 2 bed bugs. I am the only person in my house who has any bites. Neither my daughter nor my husband have any. I went to my sister-in-law s house and she has a 3 month old baby. I told her about our experience and now she is freaking out thinking that we might have brought bed bugs to her house. She is very worried about the baby and if he gets bitten. Her husband went on line and read that the baby could get anemia, go into anaphalactic shock as a result of the venom the bug injects into the bloodstream and the bugs will suck his blood at night. Is their any truth to any of this or is this just more misinformation from the internet?
bed bug may cause anemia because it is dependent on the human blood for nutrition. it causes allergic reaction in some people. it may also b in form of anaphylactic shock in rare cases insusceptible individuals. so dont bother too much about that
