Unless you had fleas invade every corner of you home before, getting rid of fleas is not a top priority for most people. Perhaps knowing this will change your perception. Besides losing a few drops of blood and having a terrible itch, fleas can cause Bartonella. What’s the heck is that? Heard about Cat Scratch Disease? It the same thing.
We are not going to discuss Bartonella, you can look it up else where. A quick take of what are the result to your health if you get Bartonella. If your immune system is up to mark, what you’ll get is painful swelling and fever. Ooch!. If your immune system in low, it gets interesting. Your infection can lead to spleen enlargement, and potentially encephalitis, heart valve infection, and other conditions. This is serious stuff!
I never knew about such thing too until I got fleas in my home and searched everywhere to find a solution. And now that you know, don’t take getting rid of fleas likely.
