Very unpleasant insects. They disturb the peace of our pets. Their bites irritate the skin and may cause allergic reactions in dogs and cats.

How do fleas get into our house

If you have no petsyou or your guests can bring the larvae or eggs on the shoes. If your friends keep animals, the flea can jump on you from this animal and arrive safely at your home. There are many ways.
What are these insects dangerous to humans?
The eternal question that worries so many - Are fleas dangerous for humans or not? Can they not live in the human body? Can not settle! Neither the cat nor the dog. But bite - Yes! And those and others.
Let's understand:
- the human body differs quite significantly from the body of the animal. We do not have that coat that is necessary for the existence of fleas. They have nowhere to hide;
- social conditions of modern life, regular shampooing, daily showers do not at all contribute to the living of these parasites (they are afraid of water) on the human body.
But even if fleas cannot settle on our bodies, they can bite. The bite is painful, the skin after the bite is scratched. If there are many, bites can cause an allergic reaction. If your dog’s fleas have had time to bite another animal, a sick dog or a rat, and then they have bitten you, they can become a peddler of disease or parasites.
This is a very famous person. Thanks to her, not one empire fell from the plague, and even Lefty glorified her by being able to shoe. but don't give this insect much value. To cope with them at home is not so difficult, but it is better not to allow them into your life.
