FLEAS DO BITE!!! They hurt, I am sensitive to flea bites and have over 14 bites on one leg ONE LEG over 2 days!!!! The infestation gets passed all over the house especially if the house has carpets, pets that roam all over it and lots of soft things! Treat fleas as soon as possible using either ( these are some good recommendations, not compulsory) BAYER 'spot on' flea that you can get from the vets, flea powder or a flea collar. Antisan is very good for treating the bites, or Calamine lotion, which is also good for chicken pocks!!! Cats and dogs pass on fleas quickly!!! Treat before a big problem occurs !!!
