    Do bedbug get in hair

    Bed bugs can get in your hair but the good news is that they really don’t want to be there. Unlike fleas and lice that have bodies or claws that are specifically designed for navigating through hair, the common bed bug does not have these modifications. In fact, bed bugs need to set their front claws in a particular position so that they can insert their mouth parts into the skin just so, in order to be in the proper feeding position. Hair on the human head would make this very difficult. They would much prefer to feed on the bare skin. If they encountered your head first, they would most likely move to your face (many people suffer face bites) or some other less hairy area to feed. If you are bald, well, the head is fair game.

    One night in bed, my leg felt itchy so I reached down to scratch it and found a wolf spider crawling on my leg.

    I know what you mean, I'm itching just thinking about it!

    I was 1/2 mile from shore in a boat and I dove overboard (while the boat was running) and swam to shore and felt the spiders for hours!
