Can A Bed Bug Bite Lead To Bleeding?
Hi. I work in a daycare and after folding and putting up bedding after nap time, I felt something bite my ankle on the front and looked down to see a small brown thing on it and swiped it away. I then notice it was bleeding and want to know if it could have been a bed bug?

Good day and thanks for your question. It could be an insect bite (bed bug) which was itchy and scratching it might lead to inflammation and subsequently bleed. Hope it helps. Thank you.
