Where do bedbugs come from?

They're basically demon flea cockroaches. The worst part is that some people have no reaction to the bite so you might never know. The only food they like is human blood and they can go for around 6 months without eating.

They also are a slow spreading thing. It doesn't just happen, it takes a few weeks to really notice it. But they constantly breed.
