Note that there are no food or fluid restrictions unless by medical direction. The patient may be asked to restrict anticoagulants, aspirin and other salicylates by medical direction for the appropriate number of days prior to the procedure, especially if it is anticipated that a biopsy will be performed.
What are bed bugs? Bed bugs (Cimex lectularius) are small, flat, parasitic insects that feed solely on the blood of people and animals while they sleep. Bed bugs are reddish-brown in color, wingless, range from 1mm to 7mm (roughly the size of Lincolnâs head on a penny), and can live several months without a blood meal.
Bed bugs are also capable of feeding on animals, including dogs, cats, and other pets. Bed bugs typically bite the head and neck but they will also bite bare arms, hands, and legs. They live close to where people sleep, rest, or sit for long periods of time and are active at night and generally hide during the day. Bed bugs feed for 2 to 5 minutes and then move quickly to a hiding spot.
