Scabies vs bed bugs?
Scabies vs bed bugs, what’s the difference? Both are parasites that like to feed on humans. Scabies burrow into human skin where they live and reproduce. Bed bugs feed on humans, usually while sleeping, then hide in areas of the home(especially the bedroom) during daylight hours.
