| FLEAS |
Fleas are troublesome ectoparasites on mammals and
birds. They infest homes, bird cages, and poultry houses.
Both males and females bite and suck blood; the bite often
leaves an itchy red spot. Some kinds of fleas transmit
diseases such as bubonic plague, endemic typhus, and
tularemia to humans. This is because many fleas feed on a
variety of animals or birds and are able to spread disease
from one kind of animal to another. Also, the cat flea and the
dog flea are sometimes intermediate hosts for the dog
tapeworm, which may infest humans.

Certain people are more susceptible than others to flea bites; some people become
immune to any reaction after being bitten often over a long period. A typical flea bite has a
small, central red spot surrounded by a red halo, a little swelling, and sometimes bleeding.
Several species of fleas attack mammals and birds. The dog flea and the cat flea, which
look very much alike, are the most widespread and the most troublesome as household
pests. Both species attack dogs and cats and sometimes humans, especially if the family
pets are temporarily away. Generally, fleas stay off their hosts much of the time, attacking
them only to suck blood.
Fleas may feed several times a day when hosts are conveniently near, but adults can
live for several months without food. Humans are attacked most by fleas which cannot find
their usual hosts. Dog and cat fleas in homes become starved when pets are kept outside
during warm weather or are boarded out during vacations. Often upon return from the
vacation, homes are overrun with fleas that have hatched while the occupants were away.
Flea infestations may last for weeks or months after pets are removed unless the home is
properly treated.
