A member asked:
Can bed bugs bite through clothes or crawl up long sleeves and pants to bite also will the cold kill them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No yes and No: They usually strike the first skin they find, so ankles are common. They are incredibly itchy. Only high heat (in clothing/bedclothing---not on your skin!) and certain pesticides can kill them. Consider an exterminator with experience in bed bugs.
