Should you be concerned about bed bugs infesting your house because of house guests who have been diagonosed with bed bug bites?

It's definitely worth getting concerned about, but it's also not a certainty.

It is more likely they brought bed bugs in their luggage or on their clothes than on their body. Also, it can take up to 5 days for bites to appear so it's possible they haven't been anywhere near bed bugs in a week.


If you're nervous though, you can look into encasing your bedding and/or get a bed bug proof laundry bag. I know they sell some at http://www.bedbug.com.
