Do fleas bite people and how it happens

Do fleas bite people? ..

Fleas, like most other blood-sucking insects, are obligate parasites. In other words, they cannot eat anything other than blood - the device of their mouth apparatus in principle does not allow them to use other food sources. Therefore, it’s not worth long thinking about why fleas bite humans - they only do this in order to feed, live and multiply.

Another thing is that in most cases, fleas bite a person not as their main owner. Very often a person is bitten by insects, which parasitize mainly on other warm-blooded animals - dogs, cats, rats, birds. In the end, and to the question whether the cat fleas bite people or bite a person dog fleas You can safely give a definite answer: bite, and very active.

However, among the large variety of species of fleas there is one for which the main owner is man. But this is worth talking in more detail.

 

Types of fleas that bite humans

Guessing what kind of fleas bite people, we first of all start blaming the parasites of our pets. In principle, this is correct: in the overwhelming majority of cases, the parasites of domestic cats and dogs are the perpetrators of unpleasant itchy bites in humans.

However, among the fleas there is precisely the human parasite human flea. This insect can quite successfully attack medium-sized animals - the same cats and dogs - but it prefers man. To pierce human skin, the oral apparatus of this species is optimally adapted, and its general biology is somehow connected with people and their homes.

On a note

The expression “human fleas” is not entirely correct. It is used by analogy with lice, but fleas have a major difference - they do not live on a person permanently, but only attack him, bite and leave the body. Therefore, it is impossible to talk about the infection of a person with fleas - it's like saying “this person has mosquitoes”.

In general, potentially most of the more than 2,000 species of fleas can bite humans.However, only some of them, besides human, account for most of the bites. Among them:

  • Dog flea, perhaps - the record for the number of people bitten. Dog fleas bite people much more often than other animal parasites by virtue of their number: dogs usually carry more parasites on themselves, and often catch them on the street often.
  • A cat flea is another unique one. The peculiarity of this species is that they are widely distributed throughout the world and are bitten, perhaps, by no less than a number of mammals than canine fleas. One should not even speculate whether cat fleas can bite people: they can, and very easily. And the reason why cat fleas bite people is the same - they just need to actively eat. In general, cat fleas bite people most often in apartments, as they rarely let cats inside private homes, and parasites have to be treated by those owners whom they can meet on the street.
  • Rat fleas - in modern cities people rarely bite, terrorizing mainly provincials and guests of villages and villages. However, it is they who carry with them the largest bunch of pathogens of various diseases and are the most infectious.
  • Rabbit fleas, which bite the human least of all, but, nevertheless, of the entire numerous cohort of jumping blood-sucking parasites, they also belong to one of the most common.

Mostly humans are bitten by fleas from flea cats and dogs.

In the most general case, animal fleas bite humans at the first opportunity: even those species that parasitize mice and small birds are quite capable of piercing human skin. Therefore, noticing a flea on clothes or in a house, you should always understand that no matter what type a particular specimen belongs to, it will not miss the opportunity to bite you.

Feedback

“I never knew if fleas could bite people. Probably just did not come across them. And once the father-in-law took me on a hunt and we dug a fox hole with him for half a day. After that, I learned what flour is - until we reached the house (and on the old Niva 40 km on the road - it was more than an hour and a half), it was as if I were burned all over with cigarettes. At home, these foxes flew off me like sand after a beach. ”

Leonid Zakharov, Republic of Adygea

Many people are interested in another question: whether cat fleas bite or other species many times during one meal, as bugs do, for example, or an insect only needs one bite, after which it leaves the host's body.

In fact, a human flea is usually bite 1 to 3 times at a time. In this they are somewhat inferior to bedbugs.

So, with a question, whether fleas bite animals of people, have understood. Now you need to know exactly how they do it.

 

How a flea bites - process in illustrations

Like most parasitic insects, the oral apparatus of fleas is a highly elongated jaw, in a working folded state, similar to a thin needle. They insect pierces the skin of a person over a blood vessel, reaches the channel itself and begins to suck blood.

The photo at high magnification shows such an insect stylet:

Human flea under the microscope

Cat flea under the electron microscope

Dog flea under the electron microscope

It is interesting

Because of the very small size, the parasite is sometimes hard to reach with its proboscis to the very blood vessel. Therefore, when a bite insect literally shoves his head and front of the body into the skin, trying to penetrate as deeply as possible, and his body during the bite is located vertically. This is especially noticeable in a photo taken with a microscope. Human skin is much softer than the skin of animals (even cats and dogs), so we can say that people bite fleas with particular pleasure.

A flea bite can bite into the skin.

The process of how to bite fleas, generally quite interesting.Like other parasites, they inject into the wound with their saliva an enzyme that prevents blood from clotting and facilitates the process of its exhaustion.

But if other bloodsuckers in parallel inject an analgesic into the wound, due to which the victim may not notice the bite at all for a while, fleas bite people without such local anesthesia - thanks to a dense chitinous cover and a flattened body, they are not afraid of mechanical effects from the itching victim, and therefore do not particularly hide their meal.

In general, a flea bite is quite specific and feels like a needle. Few insects are affected in this way.

Feedback

“I could never understand who this bites me so hard when I rest on the veranda. Only once did I feel the same injection on my leg, and before I scratched myself. Turned out to be bitten by a flea. Very small, but bites harder than bedbugs or mosquitoes. ”

Anna Pavlovna, Yekaterinburg

What do flea bites look like?

Flea bites are quite specific. They have several features:

  1. Insects prefer to hit the legs and lower back.If a person is sleeping, the fleas usually bite the arms and neck.
  2. The bite mark is very similar to a mosquito: a small center point of skin damage is located on the same swelling.
  3. Bites are usually arranged in pairs or triples: each insect, if possible, pierces the skin sequentially in several places, located at a distance of 1-2 cm one from another. At the same time, the typical tracks characteristic of bedbug bites are not left behind by fleas.
  4. If the fleas bit the person, then the bite sites themselves usually itch much more strongly than the mosquitoes. At the same time, the pain of each bite goes long enough.

In the photo below you can take a closer look at the fresh bites of a large number of parasites. Well-marked differences in the reactions of the skin of different people to bites:

Reviews:

“I can’t sleep in a room at all. Fleas bite me constantly. My husband constantly pulls me on a fishing trip, but I can’t even sleep at the dacha: I’m just covering myself with a blanket, somewhere I’m sure to prick. And even if he was bitten by one! ”

Alya, Odessa

“And my boyfriend constantly asked if a flea could bite a man. In short, they once went for a walk with a dog and a friend about a bet, and found some kind of hole in the ravine. Whether a badger, or a fox.Homes came stuck round, roaring, these fleas from them and sypyatsya, all over the body at each bite. I washed them, and the dog had to be sprayed with a special dog dichlorvos. ”

Tatyana, Izhevsk

Fleas are quite indifferent in choosing a prey: it is important for them that it is a mammal. And questions like “Why do not fleas bite everyone?” Are a consequence of the fact that some people - especially men - do not feel their bites. Especially when fleas bite at home while sleeping.

This creates the illusion that these insects only bite especially sensitive women, and no thick-skinned men are attacked at all.

 

The Dangers Of Flea Bites

Despite its small size, fleas are considered very dangerous parasites, not inferior in this even mites.

The dangers of biting these insects for the human body are several:

  • Severe allergic reaction to an enzyme that prevents blood from clotting. Sometimes it is just redness and itching, sometimes - rashes all over the body, and sometimes - severe swelling and even anaphylactic shock.
  • The possibility of infection of the most flea. These insects are carriers of pathogens of many deadly diseases, including plague, salmonellosis, typhoid fever, encephalitis, hepatitis and others.
  • The risk of infection of the bite site when it is scratched by a person.

Example of a mild allergic reaction to a flea bite

In general, in medicine there is even a special term denoting a combination of symptoms caused by flea bites - pulyosis. It can be expressed in the enhanced sensation of itching and involuntary combing of the places of bites.

What to do if bite fleas? First of all, find out if this is an exceptional case (for example, when fishing or on a walk), or fleas are firmly settled in the apartment. The bites themselves should be treated with alcohol solutions, allergies should be taken antihistamines, and with a particularly strong reaction - see a doctor.

It is also useful to know how to protect against flea bites in case of contact with the place where there are a lot of them. These parasites are perfectly scared away by powerful anti-mosquito repellents with a high content of the substance DETA. It is enough to sprinkle hands and feet with this tool before going on a fishing trip, and fleas will not be disturbed all day.

And remember: instead of checking whether fleas bite, you should foresee protection against them, so as not to worry about bites at all, even if they are present.

    I really wanted to find the answer in the article, why fleas bite some and not others. I had a dog at home for 15 years. I was not bitten by her fleas (walking on the street, as expected). The cat was up to the dog - there were horrified legs. And the bites, or rather, the spots, went off a few years after that. There were cyanotic spots. Now at home again a cat. For several months everything was fine, but for several days a strange cat lived, which supposedly does not have fleas (asked for the time of departure). Now I'm again bitten. And at the same time I'm the only bitten. My adult son, who lived during a session in another city in an apartment, was also badly bitten by fleas. Therefore, the version that men do not bite fleas is wrong. Perhaps it depends on the composition of the blood or the smell of the skin? My friend is engaged in cats. At home she has from 12 to 15 cats always.What is a flea bite - she does not know!

    There was such a story about 5 years ago. Fleas bitten off the cat after applying good anti-flea drops (I don’t remember the name). Spraying of the entire apartment (floor, walls up to 1 m in height) with tea tree oil diluted in water (30 drops to 0.5 liters) helped spray.

Kick! I also have 2 blood group, positive. I do not know, really, does this play any role or not? Husband does not bite. Even strange. Thank you all for the advice. I will try everything!

      Try garlic: crush 2-3 cloves of garlic and cover with water. Treat the entire apartment with this water. Fleas do not like the smell of garlic ...

    I first had one bite in my armpit. After a couple of days, the second ... Then 2 bites on the stomach (3 days later), then 2 bites on the labia (outside) - in a week. Bites look like a hole, and around the tumor. It seems that you can squeeze out of it. A friend and neighbor's child bites under the eye, not everyone bites. What is it? Fleas or not? Maybe lice? The dermatologist said they were bites, but he didn’t identify anything anymore.

    Tell me, pliz. Also: there are no animals at home, but I can’t walk past a single animal, feed it or just poglazhu.

    I had a cat, 3 months, I gave in good, caring hands in connection with the move.In general, he ran away all the time (picked up from the street), there were fleas (every week he bathed him), and then worms. In general, we cured cat. The whole family (and son, 2.7 years old) drank up antihelminthic. The cat already lives like 2 weeks in a new family, and I saw a little black woman on my flea, from 1 mm. And we have to move the other day. What to poison? What to drink, how to be treated? Nobody bites anyone but me (I'm 25), no. I have only on my legs for the last week 4 bites appeared. I was still so surprised (sensitive skin) - you can clearly see that it was a bite, but winter is, after all. I am a pedant, and I have fear of insects since childhood! Could fleas infect worms? Can they move with us? Maybe it's from the larvae or eggs? How long does an egg become a flea? Help me please.

    Kota not only bathed! Do not think, I love him very much! The cat is affectionate, playful, naughty, was not afraid of small things, did not hide in the corners, they slept together, played. The cat tail all the time up and screwed the tip to the ears. Licked, however, bed - this is the only negative. And so, the tray knew, ate generally excellent. Son with the advent of the cat recovered slightly, threatened that I will give Vshpyshu. I miss it myself! Cared about him as a member of the family.They bought a collar, wore a vet - a watery eye. Flea droplets, the collar was buying. Then, as soon as the worms appeared, she gave pills in the tray. Now healthy, I hope, fleas again did not work.

    I have B2 blood type and my son. I change my bed linen to my son every day, but to myself and my husband only every Saturday. And cleaning the house.

    Yes, nonsense is all! My husband and my father have the first positive blood group, the first-in-law is negative - so they avoid fleas in general! And me from the second negative and my mother from the fourth positive simply get stuck, it feels like they are running after us. So the blood type and the Rh factor are definitely irrelevant.

    Blood definitely has nothing to do with it, I have IV and they devour me alone. Ground floor. I will go tomorrow to demand the treatment of the basement. Periodically, these creatures appear. Similarly, fleas. I have time to catch myself. Suffer mostly legs.

    And I also suffer terribly from itching! They only bite me, my husband thinks I am delirious ... Today I caught 2! If only children did not bite! And what is most interesting is always in the fall, as soon as it gets cold and until the frosts hit, they devour me. A private house. 4 years ago, the floor was opened, a new one was laid.

    Hello! This infection bites over the years that way 20 🙂 And now Chukhmar, like a dog. There is a house, yard, children and dog. Pets live on the street, and it happens that I forget the dog to do preventive maintenance - bathing, drops on withers and a collar. So what's the catch: climb the dog in the booth to remove - so at least one nibbled! I can be with a dog in an embrace - there are no fleas! But if you go into the garage, where the cats live, I’ll fly out of the garage, as they are eating up) I am from Ukraine, Kropivnitsky, and now there is no winter at all. And for these nits is in full swing to be fruitful.

    The article really helped, came up to me like a nut for a screw) Tomorrow the cats are isolated, and I’ll wait for the frost, and when it shoots, the mats do not care, they’re frozen! Good luck everyone.

    Wormwood helps well. The fleas themselves will go away. Usually they get wet. And cats have fleas and collars regularly.

    Treated cats and dogs with the drug BLOKET (drops). Not a bit helped, fleas became even more active.They bite everyone: animals, and me and my daughter. Already in shorts to walk indecently - all the legs are bitten. We treat the premises with Delcidum, sometimes fleas disappear immediately, and sometimes they need to be reprocessed. Some dogs can also be sprinkled with this preparation, but here are the cats ... They lick themselves! Better drops, but what? Good drops did not find! By the way, dear Front Line did not help us either. And the wormwood was spreading ... Bloch takes nothing.
