Can a human get sick from dog fleas?
Nope. All fleas are the same. There's no human flea, cat flea, dog flea, or any certain flea. They're on everything. A human could possibly get sick if they had a reaction to a flea bite (unlikely), but flea bites only itch. Trust me, I know. I attract fleas *and* mosquitoes, and all those other horrible things.
What causes swelling when a flea bites since fleas don't bite?
FLEAS DO BITE!!! They hurt, I am sensitive to flea bites and have over 14 bites on one leg ONE LEG over 2 days!!!! The infestation gets passed all over the house especially if the house has carpets, pets that roam all over it and lots of soft things! Treat fleas as soon as possible using either ( these are some good recommendations, not compulsory) BAYER 'spot on' flea that you can get from the vets, flea powder or a flea collar. Antisan is very good for treating the bites, or Calamine lotion, which is also good for chicken pocks!!! Cats and dogs pass on fleas quickly!!! Treat before a big problem occurs !!!

They are tiny black or deep brown and yes, they do bite the dog. They also can get into things in the house. Some people are allergic to flea bites. If the dogs don't go to the vet and get a flea remedy such as "Program" (the vets have other types) then the dog will be miserable. Fleas are usually all over a dog, but particularly love the nose area and behind the ears.
