Yes: It takes time for the bugs(who burrow under your skin) to activate your immune response.History is important;have you slept where you could have been exposed?If so you may benefit from treatment for these unpleasant bugs.

Yes: Bed bug bites may cause no symptoms or signs in some people. When there is a reaction, it may not show until several days after the bed bug has bitten. It can cause pink, itchy, swollen lesions on the skin. What can be telltale is when there is a linear track of lesions from sequential feedings – but that does not always occur.
