Is Nose Bleed Sign Of Bed Bugs Attack?
a friend of mine who is 60, white and normally healty, has had bed bugs. He is having nose bleeds now for two weeks and seems to think that the bed bugs are seeking blood through his nose and making his nose bleed. No fever but he get pieces of cartaledge from his nose from time to time. No drama impact to cause the nose to bleed. No headaches. Nose bleed happens about twice a day. One main question. Do bed bugs attack as a rule through the nose?
