At my place we have bedbugs which bit me the day before yesterday on my foot. Yesterday they didn't effect me very much, but today my foot got really big, it looks like a ball now, and it itches and hurts so bad, and it has a liquid yellow bag on the side of it, I can't even walk anymore. Is this dangerous? I'm really scared, please help me.

We brought a terminex but they only stopped for two weeks then they bit me again, and I know it's bedbugs because they bit me before and I know how it looks like.

i brought home bedbugs from girl scout camp many many years ago. my parents had to get all new bedding for all of us, they had to bomb the house with pest stuff, they had to freeze our toys to kill the bugs, i'd get to a dr right away.

I agree not a bedbug, but why in hell are you living with bedbugs if you cant afford new furniture put all clothes and furiture in a room and make sure noone comes in contact with it for 6 weeks and in the mean time get a sleeping bag I know this sounds ridiculas but unless you can afford to change all your stuff thats the only way to get rid of them

The first thing you need to do is to go to a doctor. Bedbug bights themselves aren't dangerous but if they get infected you've got a problem.
Then you want to call an exterminator. Bedbugs are pretty tough to get rid of so you want a pro. You can't just live with them!

It doesn't sound like bedbugs to me. Bedbug bites are like mosquito bites, but last much longer and usually have a linear pattern of three, or so-called “breakfast, lunch, and dinner”. But if you are positive they are bedbugs, take a look at my Blog:

Bed bugs can bite and probably cause infection. I watched a news segment on bed bugs and the only way to get rid of them is to have a professional bug killer (terminex) or something come in and fumagate or they will keep coming back and keep biting you.

sounds like a spider bite rather than a bedbug

Definitely go to the ER. You need to have that checked. If it is truly as bad as you are describing then you MUST SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP! You may have to get it drained and probably be prescribed an anti-inflammatory, and an antibiotic.
