Flea Bites on Humans
Flea bites on humans is the topic we will write today about.
Usually cats and dogs bring fleas into the house – much more
often in the summer when fleas are multiplying. Fleas die in
cold weather. Fleas feed on the blood by sucking it. They do
not live all the time on the host, but usually in carpets, bedding
or furniture, where they are easily accessible to the host. If
their primary host is not available, they will feed on human’s
blood or on blood of some other accessible animal. Flea bites
on humans cause pink dots and itching that lasts three to four
days and then disappears. Lotion with zinc oxide and iron
oxide can help alleviate itching. Fleas can transfer to humans
easily from their pet. But most know the fleas are attacking
children while they play on the carpets, which is their favorite hideout.
Regular flea treatment means the best way to prevent their recurrence. There are veterinary
insecticidal shampoos to remove fleas from the dog, but it’s easier, especially cats, to sprinkle
veterinary flea powder. We highly recommend Bayer Advantage II Purple 6-Month Flea Control.
Sprinkle the powder and the carpets and then vacuum the vacuum cleaner. Wash and sprinkle
basket pet and upholstery that could be affected by the insecticide permethrin-based spray and
metoprena. When fleas occur, thoroughly treat the area to completely exterminate adult fleas.
Do the same, and after ten days to exterminate fleas that have developed in ten days, but have
not laid eggs.

What do flea bites look like on humans? Just like in sand flea bites there is no poison that
causes the reaction in flea bites on humans, but they inject saliva in the bloodstream that
prevents blood clotting. After their bites local swelling occurs on the skin, redness and itching
that disappears slowly. The first thing is – never scratch it! Doesn’t matter how much you feel
relief after scratching, just don’t do it. When you scratch flea bites there is a possibility you will
infect it with some bacteria, since it is now an open wound. After scratching it, you will make a
big wound which has a big risk of infection and it now takes much more time to heal. Flea bites
on humans are found usually around the joints of the legs where you will notice a small red
blisters (like mosquito bites) and strong itching.

their body attracts them. Don’t allow fleas to get into your living area, but if they do, first thing is
