The bites leave animals anemic and bleeding under their skins, and they also become exhausted from constantly moving in an attempt to avoid the insects.
You don’t hear bleed used as a transitive verb (with an object) as much anymore with actual blood since they stopped using leeches in medicine, but it’s still commonly used for other situations. You can bleed fluid from a hydraulic line, for example.
technically it isnt bleeding, but sucking the animal dry of blood.
