HOW DOES A FLEA BITE AND HOW DOES IT PASS?

Fleas, which are not visible to the eye, appear more often, especially in summer. Flea bites, on the other hand, can be easily felt at the first moment. So what are the causes of flea bites? How can a flea bite be obvious?

.
CAUSES OF FLEA BITE

Fleas, a parasitic insect species, need blood to live and reproduce. It absorbs the blood of the human or animal on which it settles. Therefore, fleas are transmitted and spread much faster, not only to you, but also to your pet. And the human transition is usually from a cat and a dog. For this reason, you should definitely vaccinate your pet against external parasites or use a flea collar. When biting fleas, it gives the secretion in its mouth to the body, then draws blood from the body with its needle.

HOW CAN A FLEA BITE BE OBVIOUS?

A flea bite causes small bumps on the body. The area of the bite is intensely itchy. It can cause very serious ailments, especially in infants, if precautions are not taken.

HOW DOES A FLEA BITE PASS?

If a flea has bitten you, first, the area where the fluff is should be washed with soap and rinsed with plenty of water. Then you can apply a few drops of ammonia that you pour on cotton to reduce bloating. Putting ice on the swelling will also ease the pain. Decontamination with ammonia cotton is also an effective method for insect bites such as bees, mosquitoes.
