well "bed bugs" is refering to either the dust mite or an actual bed bug. An actual bed bug is like a tick, it crawls on you while you sleep and sucks a little of your blood. Afterwards is retreats to where is sleeps and thats usually under or inside your mattress. I hope this helps. If you need to get rid of them use a steam cleaner and they will try and escape or they will die of the heat. So if you have them, call an exterminator.

Yes and everyone has them to some extent. They eat the dead skin that flakes off you while you're sleeping...however; if they start biting you then you have a problem and should look into an exterminator.

yes and very hard to get rid of. Wash all your stuff and get an insect bomb or call an exterminator

Yes, they're real. I guess they're some sort of dust mite, and they're often found in mattresses. I just bought a new mattress, and they told me to vacuum it often to prevent dust mites.
