"You know there are many common insects and bugs that can cause discomfort and itching. Hi, I'm Captain Joe Bruni, and what I'm going to talk about is how to stop and treat the itching from the common bed bug. Bed bugs can cause a great deal of discomfort and itching. Some type of antiseptic cream, or anesthetic cream can be applied over the area to help stop the itching. Remember not to scratch the area if bitten by bed bite. Commonly apply some type of cream that's designed for mites or bed bugs that will stop the itching and keep the area from being exposed to secondary forms of infection. If secondary forms of infection do occur, it may be wise to consult the advice of a medical professional. Also applying ice or cold packs to the area after the cream is applied can help reduced the itching effect from the common bed bug. I'm Captain Joe Bruni. Stay safe, and we'll see you next time."
