The good news is that these pests don't generally carry diseases -- the bad news is that the bites, which can occur on any exposed part of the body, can be itchy or sometimes even a bit painful. Scratching at these welts (where the insects have sucked out some blood) can most definitely be a secondary source of bacterial or other infection.
