Nope, you should get it checked out if its serious. If it was a Tick, get it checked out now.
No, but if you ingest a flea you can.
Yes....By swallowing a flea infected with a tapeworm larvae. This process begins when tapeworm eggs are swallowed by flea larvae (an immature stage of the flea). Contact between flea larvae and tapeworm eggs is thought to occur most frequently in contaminated bedding or carpet. Next, the pet chews or licks its skin as a flea bites; the flea is then swallowed. As the flea is digested within the pet's intestine, the tapeworm hatches and anchors itself to the intestinal lining.
For Dipylidium caninum (flea tapeworm) it is the cysticercoid
well yes flea bites can be harmful to humans but mostly when a flea bites a human it just gets itchy and annoying
One disease spread by flea bites was called Black Death.
Black death was spread by flea bites. Flea bites transferred Yersinia pestis bacterium.
No more flea bites
The tapeworm Dipylidium caninum can be transmitted when a flea is swallowed by pets or humans.
No, not from your dog but you could from raw or undercooked pork. If your dog has tapeworms you need to treat with the once a month topical flea & tick killers such as Frontline Plus. You just put a small amount on the skin once a month to keep your pet flea & tick free. The tapeworm needs an intermediate host, the flea, to pass through, then the infected flea is ingested by the dog when it bites at the fleas, so if you keep the fleas off then you keep your pet tapeworm free. In the mean time, treat your dog with a tapeworm dewormer such as Droncit or other dewormers. Be sure to read the label of the dewormer to make sure it will get rid of tapeworms specifically.
Yes
Flea bites itch because of the bacteria and dirt it puts in you when it bites.
Flea bites can be dangerous to babies. The saliva of fleas contains anticoagulants which can cause severe infections in infants.
"no, it must of died of old age"Ignore above response as actually yes, a dog can die from flea infestation. Pets can contract the following from flea bites: Tapeworm, Dipetalonema reconditum, anemia, flea allergy dermatitis, plague, Haemobartonellosis, and Tularemia. All of which can potentially lead to death if left untreated.
