Anyone have any good flea remedies for human flea bites?
My legs are totally bit up from fleas!! My roomates dog is the culprit. They told me that they took the dog to the vet and already put it on a flea medicine but the darn thing still has fleas. My legs have little mosquito bite looking things all over them!! When I took a shower tonight I saw two fleas in the water. UGH!!! Does anyone have any cheap ideas for what I can do to get these fleas out of my bed and out of my rug in my room??? PLEASE???
I had a very bad infestation of fleas You should wash all your bedding,curtains, and all clothing in very hot water, then dry it completely. While it is being laundered, vacuum your bed, and carpet thoroughly and take the bag outside to the trash can immediately since the fleas can escape and you’ll be right backw where you started. There is a spray that you can purchase at any pet store for your carpet, which only costs about six dollars for a can. Use it right after you’re all done vacuuming. And finally, take a good hot shower, and apply noxema liberally on your skin, this will immediately relieve the itching and the fleas won’t bite you because they don’t like the taste of it. You can also use ice packs if the swelling is particularly bad or calamine if the itching gets bad between showers. Your roommate needs to follow through with the flea treatment for the dog too, one of the best things for this is to buy a dog bed stuffed with cedar shaving, fleas hate cedar. And you should also clean the rest of your home in a similar fashion, vacuuming, washing everything possible in hot water, to be sure you’ve gotten rid of them. I had a bad infestation from my mother’s cat, and it took me a while to get rid of them – I even had to spread Sevin around the perimeter of the house to kill them off, because most flea treatments kill either the eggs of the adults but not both. Good luck with this very common, and annoying problem!
