Guest guest Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Fleas don't usually live on people because they don't have enough hair, but they will live in carpets or upholstery or bedding. I have walked on infested carpets, had the fleas jump on, bite my feet and calves, and then jump off. So, yikes! To this day, I still have Bartonella, which is transmitted by fleas. Anyhow, just saying. You can Google to see what fleas look like to be sure. There are lots of gadgets on how to remove them from the home. Remember that pyrethium products are reported on this Internet by many to have caused them severe long-term, or never-ending symptoms, so I would avoid products that use this. I think it's even in Lysol spray. Anyhow, just saying. Garlic sprays without toxins in them probably are a good bet, as well as many other natural and safe products. Fleas like to jump into lights and water and drown, so there are gadgets on this Internet where they sell lights with sticky boards and such to help fight fleas. You can also put a bowl of water on the ground at night to see if any jump in. If you don't have carpeting at your house, you could be visiting an area that has fleas. Love and prayers, Heidi N I am freaking out here! I am so sad & frustrated, > about two weeks ago I started getting these bites on my feet > & ankles, I thought they were mosquito bites.
