Bedbugs and health

Re: Severe anemia from bedbugs, Practice Sept. 1. 1 As a pest controller in the poorest postal code with the highest drug abuse problem in Canada, I am often called in to deal with residences of alcohol and drug abusers. After seeing hundreds of these cases, I came to the theory that the bedbug could affect their physical health. I felt that this could be unfounded as I am not a medical professional. I know that one case does not prove the matter but this should lead to investigation into the situation. Bravo for the observational skills of the doctor and the fact that the home of the patient was actually visited, for clinic visits are generally prepared for and we do lie to our doctors.
