What is a flea bite?<\/b><\/h2>

Flea bites are small, itchy, red bumps that appear on the skin after a flea bite. Fleas are tiny, wingless insects that feed on blood by inserting their sharp mouthparts into the skin. Although they rarely cause serious health problems, their bites are extremely annoying. Fleas feed on the blood of humans and animals, and their jumping is very effective - they can jump up to 30 cm!<\/span><\/p>

Where are fleas most often found?<\/b><\/h3>

Fleas thrive in moist, shady places, such as grass, leaves, and bushes. They are often found in homes, especially in the fur of pets. Fleas often live in the ears, necks, backs, and bellies of dogs, cats, and other animals.<\/span><\/p>

Why do fleas bite people and animals?<\/b><\/h3>

Fleas, both male and female, feed on blood. The goal is to obtain food, not only for themselves but also for the young fleas that feed on the feces of adults. Although fleas prefer animals, they can also bite humans, especially around the legs, feet, and ankles.<\/span><\/p>
