Bedbugs (Cimex lectularius) are small, reddish-brown parasitic insects that feed on human and animal blood. They are flat, oval-shaped, and about the size of an apple seed, making them difficult to detect.

Brain aneurysms on their own are common, and tend to be negligible since they don’t cause symptoms or health issues, and never rupture. However, a ruptured aneurysm is a medical emergency, and knowing the signs can prevent permanent brain damage and death. Symptoms of a ruptured aneurysm A sudden and severe headache (often described as “the worst headache of my life”) Blurred or double vision Confusion One dilated pupil One drooping…
