Is it possible to be immune to bedbugs so that only the other person in the same bed gets bites?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: They are attracted by carbon dioxide so that thy be more attracted to one person. Call exterminator to confirm bedbugs and rid house of bedbugs.

No: You are not immune to the bed bugs, but you have less sensitivity to their bites. Just as some people have enormous bumps from mosquito bites, and others don't; the degree you react is variable. Repeated exposure to their bites may increase your sensitivity, however.
