Are Fleas Dangerous? What Diseases Can Fleas Spread?
Fleas are parasitic insects meaning they latch onto their host or prey and feed off their blood. Fleas can transmit diseases such as the plague, cat scratch disease, typhus, tapeworms and can also cause itchy bites that can potentially cause an allergic reaction. In addition to potentially getting you or members of your household sick, they will cause extreme discomfort to your pets, making them itch. Fleas have an irritant in their saliva that when bitten, causes the host to itch. Besides itching, another sign you have fleas in your home is seeing something known as flea dirt. Flea dirt is dried blood and can be found on pets and places they frequent like bedding, carpet or sofas.
