Flea bites...?I have maybe 40 bites on my legs (all came last night) which I think are fleas... However no one else in the house has been bitten, and I share the bed with my bf and he has no sign of being bitten... There also has been no sign of fleas in the house for at least 2 weeks since all the animals were treated... I've got a doc's appoint sorted, I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this problem?
Thanks for any help

Re: Flea bites...?UUUGH, I used to be plagued with flea bites when we first got our cats (they were rescued so crawling with the things when they first came) - I was only about 7/8 at the time but I remember it well - no one else in my family seemed to get them so they didn't understand! Flea bites tend to go in lines and swell up quite a lot- however 40 seems a crazy amount! Going to the doctors is probs the best thing, in the mean time use an antihistamine cream or something like anthisan to take away the itch. Also maybe get one of those electric clicky pen things - You can usually get them by the insect repellent stuff in boots, they feel LOVELY when you're itching!
