Prophylaxis

As a preventive measure, pets, which also run around freely in nature, should wear flea collars, and the sleeping or living area of the animals should be cleaned as often and carefully as possible. Apart from flea collars, so-called spot-on remedies, which are applied behind the animal ears or on the neck, are the best prophylaxis to prevent the transfer of fleas from the pet to humans due to their anti-parasitic effect.

Prognosis

Usually flea bites are harmless in temperate climates and heal without scarring within a few days. In the case of a mite allergy there is a hypersensitivity to house dust mites. These are small arachnids that are found in the dust of houses and apartments.
