Flea bites???

Question

I noticed I’ve been getting a a lot of flea bites and I’m super paranoid that it can be dangerous ?? I’m 7 weeks so I don’t want to use any harsh chemicals to get rid of them, can this be dangerous???

Answer

First thing, I’d treat your pets. Is your environment infested?

Answer

So I’ve been learning about the flea and it’s life cycle for over 10 years now (vet tech). Typically fleas don’t bite humans unless they don’t have a choice or if the infestation is bad. If you’re getting bit then they probably are in your home. Fleas like carpets, beds, anything soft where their eggs will be safe and only jump onto pets/people to feed. Usually for every flea that you SEE there are 100 more in your environment. 
You question was “is this dangerous?” 
Abso-freaking-lutely. Especially if they’re feeding on stray cats also. The Black Plague was spread by fleas on rats. Although not proven, some studies suggest that Bartonella can be transmitted through flea bites as well. Bartonella is scary enough if you’re infected, but if initial exposure happens while pregnant it can have devastating effects on baby. 
My suggestion? (And not trying to be ugly here) Quit pussy-footing around and bust out the big guns. Hahaha use chemicals to knock those nasty suckers out. Treat your yard and your home with actual chemicals that are proven to kill fleas. Once under control you can try things like “diatomaceous earth” in the yard and spray your yard with citrus type smells to keep the cats away. But for now it sounds like you have an actual infestation. Good luck dear. 
Also, once you start treating initially you’ll see a huge drop in flea numbers. After 2 or 3 weeks the hatchlings will come out because the chemicals can’t touch them. Don’t get discouraged, just know that you have to do another treatment with the chemicals. Me personally, I’d treat every 2-3 weeks for 3 or 4 treatments.
