Bed Bugs and Bed Mites Are Different
One of the differences between bedbugs and bed mites is that the bedbugs feed on the human blood whereas the bed mites feed on the dead skin or hair. Bedbugs typically reside close to the human host, mostly near the bed or areas with furniture. Most people do not feel the bite right away, but they usually develop an itch after a while. Some people are also allergic to these bugs and would develop rash as a part of the reaction to the mite itself.
On the other hand, the bed mites would survive on the dead skin tissue and would cause no harm to the human host as such. However, since these are organisms of a kind, they would excrete waste. Some people are allergic to mites or dust mites, but in real, they are allergic to the waste excreted by them. The bedbug bite would look similar to the flea bite, but those are completely different conditions. Sometimes, the body would develop an allergic reaction from the bug's saliva that carries a few toxins. However, there are loads of people who are immune to the effects of bug bites, whereas it could be a serious problem for others.
The only way to get rid of these bugs or the mites would be to keep your surroundings clean. These days, there are different kinds of vacuum cleaners available, which would have enough suction power to eliminate the mites as well as the dead skin. You could also use a steamer to sterilise your bedding. The heat would kill the mites but you would still have to do your bit to clean up their dead bodies.
