Flea Removal
FleasFleas are wingless insects with mouthparts adapted for piercing skin and sucking the blood of mammals (including humans). They attack a wide variety of warm-blooded vertebrates including dogs, cats, and rabbits. Fleas can cause severe skin irritations and in extreme cases, anemia, tapeworms, and the stomach flu. Flea bites are rarely felt and rather, it is their resulting irritation that is mostly noticed. Secondary infections are also common from severe scratching of the bitten area. |
