Welcome to part two about bed bugs and we're going to move on now to start talking about feeding and hiding.

These parasites known as bedbugs like to get your blood in a hit and run pattern.

They will bite you and then they will retreat back to a hiding space.

there's actually a sign of bed bugs you can look
