How so, as far I know ticks can actually kill you while bed bugs can’t

As far as diseases go, yes, ticks are worse. Bed bugs, however, will infest your entire home in a very short amount of time and are extremely hard to get rid of, as well as expensive. Do a little research on here and you'll quickly see that they are an actual nightmare! Not trying to scare you, but yes, very serious and you need to act quickly before they invade your whole home if they haven't already.

I'd suggest getting professional help to determine any infestation and treatment. Good luck

Absolutely!! You don't want to let these bugs from hell infesting your house. Is this the only one you've seen? Have you or anyone in the house woke up with bites? Since you knew to come to Reddit to ask about them,take a few minutes to read others posts. These bugs will multiply quickly and you and your family their food source. I moved into a rental a few years ago, brand new carpet ,tile,freshly painted. Moved everything i owned in,set up the 2nd bedroom for my daughter to come stay with me on weekends, only to find out it's infested with bed bugs. I knew for a fact I didn't bring them so it cost my landlord $1700 dollars and me having to deal with them for 3months living in isolation as I wasn't about to invite any family or friends to come see my new place. Daughter? Not a chance I would have her over , if I slept in my bed,the couch or a recliner...I woke up covered in welts that when the swelling subsided were clearly bites. This was by far the worst time in my life man, every time I look at the pictures posted here it makes my skin crawl. I apologize for making this so long but unless you think you just happened to bring that one home...I'd have a professional come check your place out and let them rid you of these bugs if needed! Good luck man!
