No there is absolutely no association between bed wetting and bedbugs. Bed wetting is a common problem affecting about one in ten children at the age of five most usually due to slow maturation of the child's nervous system functions concerned with bladder control. A child with that problem is likely to wet whatever bed the child sleeps in. The vast majority of bed wetting children eventually become dry at night usually by the age of 8 at the latest, although about 2% keep the problem into adulthood and may do it all their lives. Bedbugs have nothing to do with this. Theyare insects which live on feeding on the blood of humans of all ages during night times. They can be seen with the naked eye and are about the size of an ant and are attracted towards somebody's bed from where they hatch from an egg by the breath of any person asleep within about 50 metres of where they hatch. Once they have found a host, that is somebody asleep, they will normally set up a base very close to where the person sleeps, which may be in the bed, such as in the mattress or else nearby, such as in a crevice in the bedroom's wall or in furniture near the bed. Bedbug's attraction to a bed is in no way affected by a person who wets his or her bed. Bedbugs can affect children or adults of either sex and of all ages. It is the bed that becomes infested not the person and if you have bedbugs in your bed most people get a series of nasty looking red marks over where the insects bite them. You will not usually feel a bed bug biting you because they inject an anesthetic into you while feeding, and it is usually only after they have completed their meal off you and returned to their base that the effect wears off and then you may itch and feel a need to scratch.
