Human Fleas Infestation
Fleabites on humans usually appear around the feet, ankles, or legs.
If uncontrolled, fleas can spread across the body and bite anywhere, especially on people with dense areas of hair on their legs or chest.
- The bites themselves will be very small with a central red spot.
- They often appear in groups of three or four and sometimes appear in a line.
- Fleabites will often form a small scab surrounded by a light red halo.
As many fleabites do not produce a reaction in humans, they may well go unnoticed.
How do fleas bite humans?
Humans are often the secondary options when it comes to fleabites, as they do not make good hosts. They tend to become targets for hungry adult fleas who have not yet found the family pet or another, more suitable host.
If an adult or child happens to walk or crawl past an adult flea that has just emerged from its cocoon, they may be the first option for a meal.
Most people will not develop noticeable symptoms from a fleabite. In general, fleas do not carry diseases.
Small children and people who are allergic may have a bad reaction. This can include swelling and itching. The skin may become irritated and painful around the bite, and sometimes hives and a rash will appear. Scratching the bite can cause a secondary infection.
In most cases, fleas will be a nuisance and can indicate a household infestation that needs to be dealt with, but they will cause no serious symptoms.
Complications
There are two primary complications from fleabites. These are allergic reactions and secondary infections.
If a person is bitten and begins to show the following symptoms, they should seek medical attention immediately:
- difficulty breathing
- nausea
- swelling of the lips or face
A flea bite may also become infected. If the affected person has swollen glands, extreme pain around the bite, or excessive redness, they should speak with a doctor.
In some cases, fleas carry diseases that can be transmitted through bites, such as flea-borne spotted fever, plague, typhus, and cat scratch fever.
Human Fleas Infestation
The Human Flea is a small, wingless insect that has evolved to live on humans. They are often found in the hair and around the neck of their host. They feed on blood from the human host, which can cause anemia in children and adults. The Human Flea can be found all over the world, but they are most common in warm climates.
The Human Flea is known for its ability to live off of one host and then jump onto another person or animal nearby. This allows them to spread easily from one person to another.
The Human Flea has been known to cause anemia and even death when the infestation gets worse due to the amount of blood being sucked out of each human host by these pests every day without stopping until they find another victim or die themselves from starvation if no other hosts are available nearby unbeknownst to them.
