Help! can bed bug bites only be on feet and ankles?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bed bug bites: Yes - it depends on where the little monsters have set up shop so to speak. Before you travel next time , go to a site called bed bug registry. This site lists hotels that have reported incidents of bed bugs. Very handy. I travel a lot in the summer and use it extensively. (i assumed the bites were the result of travel ).
