Can fleas be spread from human to human?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, this happens all the time. Fleas typically prefer to live on other mammals like dogs and cats because they can hide in the fur coat easier. However, if a human is the only meal they can find, fleas will happily feed on humans with no problem.
A flea would much prefer to live off of the blood of cats, dogs, or other animals, than they would that of a human. It is extremely unlikely for a human to be infested with fleas, but singular flea-bites are not uncommon.

The most frequent cause of death in horses is diarrhoea caused by intestinal infections i would have to think that it is diarrhea, because the horses eat to much, they become colic, and they get diarrhea, and they will die if they do not get better. -i _luv_horses

How did fleas contribute to the black plague?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes. One of the peculiar characteristics of the Black Plague is that it blocked the digestive system of the infected flea. As a result, the fleas starved. The starving fleas were far more likely to bite than healthy fleas.

How plague is caused by rats?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, they did get sick from the plague, in fact they were one of the animals in the chain of links which enabled us humans to catch the plague, (from the flea bites the rats were getting).

In general this was bad for all the countries affected by the black death as it would leave the villages, towns, cities etc in a bad condition, which could cause even more disease in the long run.

What was the cause of the plague?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Good question. Strangely, most people assume it was mice or rats that were the cause. The truth is - FLEAS!! At first, the rats and mice were blamed. However, it was later discovered that the rats and mice had fleas. The fleas carried the disease, and transferred it to the vistims they bit. Carried to human populations by rats and mice, the fleas then bit humans who were next in line for infection and ultimately death.

What disease is spread by rat fleas?

Asked by Wiki User

The rats and fleas carried the black death

** Correction... Rat fleas carried the Bubonic Plague. There is still speculation as to whether the black death was actually bubonic plague as there are very many differences between the pandemics. One theory is that the black death was actually Ebola.

How the black death was passed from rats to humans?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

the fleas where the start whom travelled from china, they had a bacteria in them which the fleas where immune to this bacteria was called versinnia. when the fleas bit the rats (black rat's ) drink the blood they would vomit out that bacteria that the rat wasn't immune to... soon the rat would die. after the fleas wiped out all the black rats they had no food so they moved onto the the humans and animals! so technically it wasn't the fleas who caused the plague it was the bacteria versinnia

Can you get a disease if you get bit by an rat?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Answer

No as long as they don't bite or scratch you. Rats actually groom themselves very well, but, they can carry diseases depending on where they hang out. It's not wise to keep one as a pet, but, if you so choose take it to your vets to be checked over by a vet. Rats have been known to carry rabies. Remember, any wild creature can attack if provoked.

Actually there are some extremely nasty and sometimes lethal diseases you can catch from rats. I know 3 people who have caught leptosperosis. One died, one suffered kidney damage and the other recovered after a few weeks in hospital. Symptoms range from flu like to death. You don't catch it from rat bites or scratches which was Marcy's worry (see above) but from urine. You could catch this from inhaling dried urine or eating food contaminated from urine or from an open wound as small as a scratch coming into contact with urine. Other diseases carried by wild rats and possibly transmitted to humans are : salmonella (my brother caught this and was quarantined in our house for 8 months with endless diarrhea and lost half his body weight and developed an arthritic illness as a result) He thought wild rats would make nice pets ! He was wrong. You can also get rat- bite fever and a type of meningitis or typhus Bubonic plague anyone ? Believe it or not in some countries you can still catch this disease from fleas on rats !

What disease does Ring Around the Rosies relate to?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, but it's ABOUT a disease. It's about the black plague.

Ring around the rosies

-One of the first signs of the disease was a red bump,known as a rosy,surrounded by a red ring

Pocket full of posies

-The piles of dead bodies had a stench people COULD NOT BEAR, plus they were growing every day,so people carried little bags of nice smelling herbs,put them in their own pockets,and sprinkled them over the dead.

Ashes, ashes

-People don't say ACHOO when they sneeze. They say ASHES. Try it. It also refers to cremation because people were afraid the dead would turn into vampires or zombies, and it got rid of them for good.

We all fall down

-We all fall down and die.

What does the nursery rhyme ring around the rosy mean?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is about people getting a disease where they had red rings on their arms. To treat it doctors would put pockets of posies on it. When they say ashes at the end they are talking about the ashes of the people who died the the sickness.

What is the real reason of ring around the rosie's?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The first recorded version of Ring A Ring Of Roses dates to 1881, when it appeared in Kate Greenaway's edition of Mother Goose:

Ring-a-ring-a-roses,

A pocket full of posies;

Hush! hush! hush! hush!

We're all tumbled down.

It was however, referred to twenty six years prior to that in Ann S Stephen's novel The Old Homestead, which describes children playing 'Ring Ring A Rosy' in New York.

In 1883 William Newell reported two versions in America, and claimed that one version was current in New Bedford, Massachusetts in 1790:

Ring a ring a Rosie,

A bottle full of posie,

All the girls in our town

Ring for little Josie.

Also in 1883, versions were recorded in England which included the now familiar sneezing motif, for example:

A ring, a ring o' roses,

A pocket full o'posies-

Atch chew! atch chew!

In 1892 Alice Gomme listed twelve versions, including one like the version currently sung in Britain:

Ring a-ring o' roses,

A pocketful of posies.

a-tishoo!, a-tishoo!.

We all fall down.

After World War II, historians began to claim that there was a connection between the rhyme and the outbreak of bubonic plague in 1665, or possibly even the outbreak of the 1300s. However, these claims are generally regarded to be incorrect because of the lateness of this explanation arising, the fact that the symptoms of plague do not actually match the words of the song, and that earlier and foreign language variations of the song do not match up to the theory.

There are however, many people who still subscribe to this theory, despite the fact that it is highly improbable that it's correct. For more, please use the link below.
