If you wake up with a line of three to four itchy, swollen bumps, it could be due to bed bugs.Waking up with a fresh set of itchy bug bites can bring on its own set of worries. What, exactly, was biting you in the middle of the night? Was it a spider? Mosquito? Or--possibly the worst case scenario--could it have been bed bugs?

Although bed bugs might not be the first thing we think of when we wake up with a bite, the critters do get their food source from our blood--and will leave a little red bump in their wake after getting their fill.

But the trouble with identifying a bed bug bite--as is true for a lot of insects, including mosquitoes--is that it can be hard to identify the source of the bite, as everyone reacts differently to being bitten based on what their body's immune response is. "Everybody's going to respond differently "Same thing's true with a mosquito bite. Some people are going to swell up and it's going to itch. That same mosquito could bite someone else and it's hardly noticeable."

In fact, some people may have no response when being bitten by a bed bug at all, based solely on how their immune system handles the bite. That's why it can be difficult to determine whether your bite is the result of a bed bug just by looking at it.
But there are a few things that can tip you off to the fact that bed bugs are the culprit of your bites. Here's what to know, including bed bug bites pictures to help you visualize the symptoms.

The key bed bug bite symptom to look for is a red, raised bump, similar in appearance to what you would get when bitten by a spider or a mosquito. But what sets bed bugs apart from other insects is that oftentimes, their bites will present in a line on one part or side of your body. This is the result of what's called "probing." They probe the skin in several different places, I think probably to find best access to draw blood," says Gibb. In fact, if you have screens on your windows--thereby keeping out other insects that might bite--but are still waking up with a line of 3 or 4 bites on your arm, it's safe to suspect that bed bugs might be to blame.Another way to determine if your bites are a result from bed bugs is to look for the insects themselves. They naturally like to hide in on your mattress, especially in the corners, near the head end, and in the cord that goes around it. They also like to camp out behind the headboard, behind any pictures on the wall, and in any electrical sockets.

Adult bed bugs are about the the size of an apple seed and are very flat from top to bottom--almost as thin as a piece of paper--with a brownish color, says Rajotte. Baby bed bugs are also brownish in color, but pinhead-sized. Another key identifier? Look for black spots on your sheets, mattress, and mattress cover, which could be bed bug feces. Bed bug bites will most commonly occur on the arms, neck, or trunk of the body, although they'll bite anywhere they can find exposed skin. And--as their name suggests--bed bugs will bite you at night while you're sound asleep.We've found it's most active when people are most sound asleep, and that's usually from about 12:00 to 4:00 in the morning," says"That's natural for a parasite like that to do that because it's going to protect it. People won't see it, they won't feel it. It makes their survivorship much more probable.
