I got bit like 30 times by fleas last night, do I go to the doc?!


Question: I got bit like 30 times by fleas last night, do I go to the doc!?
Last night I walked through my gf's sisters backyard and afterwards I looked at my legs and I had like 30 or 40 fleas on each leg!. I freaked, and got them off then ran home and got in the shower and washed my clothes!.

I still got bit like 30 times and I'm wondering if there is any health concerns!. Should I go to the doctor!? The only thing that is wrong is that they itch!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
all you really need is some calimine lotion, or hydrocortizone lotion!. both over the counter!. maybe some other anti-itch thing!.
the only cause for concern is if you scratch them and they get infected, you start running a fever, your legs start to swell, and/or you start getting other flu like symptoms within the next couple of days!.

You shouldn't have any problems unless you have an allergy!. An allergy to the flea's saliva might result in rashes!.

Flea bites generally result in the formation of a slightly-raised swollen itching spot with a single puncture point at the center!. The bites often appear in clusters or lines of two bites, and can remain itchy and inflamed for up to several weeks afterwards!. Fleas can also lead to hair loss as a result of frequent scratching and biting by the animal, and can cause anemia in extreme cases!.

The itching associated with flea bites can be treated with anti-itch creams, usually antihistaminics or hydrocortisone!. Calamine lotion has been shown to be ineffective for itching!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

if i really bothers you, or cause some weird pain then go for it!. But if it only itches, then apply some vinegar on it!.

I experienced it and feel your pain!. Remember to flea spray the house!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

no!.!. I think they they matter!.!. fleas are not really poisonous
But if you have skin problems!.!. go to the doctor!.
Hope you feel better soon!
