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 bug eggs are tiny, pearly white and barrel shaped. They are about the size of a couple of grains of salt. Eggs are covered with a sticky substance that cements the egg to whatever surface it is laid on, making them difficult to remove. Nymphs resemble adult bed bugs.
