What happens if a flea bites a human?

Flea bites are small red dots that itch. Cats or dogs can bring them in from outdoors and they can multiply in carpets, bedding etc. My cat brought them in, and I had small bites all over my ankles and that's how I discovered the fleas. I used a flea bomb insecticide that can be bought at any pet shop and worked very well.


How can cats that eat dried food get worms?

Cats with fleas scratch and bite the fleas. The cat then swallows flea excrement which contains flea eggs. When flea eggs get inside the intestines of the cat or kitten, the egg makes a worm. Cats or kittens can also ingest the eggs from being outside poking around in dirt or grass, or from licking an infected cats' fur or licking it's rear end. NOTE: More flea eggs live in soil and grass than most people realize. If you have an outdoor, or an indoor-outdoor dog or cat, your yard needs treated at the same time you treat your pet for fleas and worms. NOTE: Flea eggs in flea excrement can survive a long time, even on a cement basement floor. So ALL areas of the house must be treated.

Can human get fleas?

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.
