Bed bugs are disgusting, tiny, brown insects that are just about 5 millimeters long on average according to EPA.gov. Since they’re so small, it’s easy to gaze over them, but we all need to be more conscious before crawling into bed with these critters!

They feed solely on the blood of people and animals while they sleep says CDC.gov. They’ll often affect you while traveling to different hotels, resorts, motels, etc.

An easy way to identify a bed bug infestation is by looking for bite marks on your face, neck, arms, hands, or any other body parts.

The scary part about these disgusting little pests is that their bite marks may take as long as 14 days to develop in some humans, so you really need to check your mattresses, sheets, pillowcases, curtains, and other areas of hotel rooms when going away.
