What are fleas actually
Fleas are extremely tiny, wingless bug like
creatures and are incidentally the most atrocious
form of external parasites feeding on the blood
of their hosts. Ranging from slightly brown to
blackish in color, their thin and flat bodies are
covered with hard shells and equipped with
mouthparts that supports suction. It is their
color that makes them extremely difficult to
spot, whereas the shells act as a severe
protection mechanism, causing them to die only
when pressed incredibly hard .....

Identifying Flea Bites
Most of the times, we end up scratching or
itching a small red lump on our skin without as
much as realizing that the same might be a flea
bite and not a form of regular skin inflammation.
Some of the distinguishing features of flea bites
are that they remain constant in sizes and are
usually small in dimension, usually red in color,
they have a tendency to spread and would most
ideally not be a single bite, but a series of
lumps in a straight line. Some of the common
places where flea bites are mostly reported would
be ankles, feet, arms and elbows. That being said
some of the most common symptoms of flea bites
include itchiness that in extreme cases may
result into infection or even cause excessive
sore and pain around the infected area.

How to Treat Flea Bites on human and pets
Some of the most common and convenient ways to
get rid of flea bite, is to dab the infected area
with ice bag or wash over the part gently to
soothe the irritations and inflammations.
Scratching of the lumps should be strictly
avoided in all cases. One could also use
aloe-vera gel, green tea dips or coconut oil over
the affected area to witness visible results. Any
form of medication be it an anti-septic cream or
an anti-itch cream should only be used with
proper medical prescription. Further any form of
uneasiness apart from the lumps should be
reported to a medical practitioner at the
earliest to avoid the spread of any flea epidemic
disease. With reference to animals infected with
fleas, the owner could either treat the pet
himself to a medical bath comprising of non-toxic
natural substances or can do the same under the
supervision of a vet.
