The combination of humidity and warm temperatures allows fleas to breed quickly and thrive. Fleas are more than a nuisance. Many cats and dogs are allergic to the flea bites and will have severe dermatitis. Fleas can also transmit disease. In cats, fleas can transmit Mycoplasma Haemofelis (formerly called Hemobartonella Lic # 963656 #833537 Call Troy at 310-663-1672 Phone/Text 310.738.7094 23 YEARS EXPERIENCE Sewer Video • Hydrojetting • Bonded • Insured CA LIC. #980971 Email to reserve your space class@heraldpublications.com OVER 40 THOUSAND PAPERS DELIVERED WITHIN MILES OF YOUR HOME OR BUSINESS. and Feline Infectious Anemia). This is a potentially serious disease for all cats but especially in cats already infected with Feline Leukemia Virus. The red blood cells become altered and the cat’s immune system destroys the cells leading to anemia. Fleas can also transmit the bacteria responsible for Cat Scratch Disease (Bartonella). Dogs and people can become very ill from this disease. The clinical signs range from weakness and lameness to fevers and meningitis, as well as affecting internal organs. Fleas transmit Murine Typhus to people. This disease is seen frequently in Southern California. Murine Typhus is a rickettsial disease caused by a type of bacteria called Rickettsia Typhi that is transmitted via fleabites. Fleas carry the bacteria in their feces, and often defecate while biting and feeding on blood. When a person is bitten by a flea and then scratches the bite, the bacteria from the feces can enter the wound and enter the blood stream. People become infected from fleas brought into the home by their pets, or by rats, mice and opossums carrying fleas around the home. Transference of the bacteria through the eyes, nose, or mouth can also infect people, or inhaling crushed or dried feces of an infected flea. So how do we prevent these fleas in the first place? The first thing is to use flea prevention year round whether you see them or not. Trying to put out a fire is harder than preventing one. It helps to understand the flea lifecycle and how the modern medicines work. Fleas are like most insects. They have four life stages: An egg stage, larval or maggot stage, pupa or cocoon stage, and the adult. Only the adult stage lives on the pet and it spends its entire life of about 10 days to three weeks on the animal. During that time the female flea will lay about 50 eggs per day. That’s 500 eggs from one flea. The eggs fall off the pet and hatch into the maggot stage. This stage can be as short as nine days. After molting, the maggots form a cocoon. Once the flea reaches the cocoon stage it’s almost impossible to kill. In fact, a flea in its cocoon can remain alive for over a year and withstand heat, cold and drought. The covering of the cocoon is sticky and picks up all kinds of dust and dirt making them difficult to see. The adult flea hatches from the cocoon when it senses movement, warmth and carbon dioxide. With 70-degree temperatures and 70 percent humidity, a flea can go from an egg to an adult in about 14 days. During the cold weather, the flea eggs and cocoons can take longer to go through their life cycle or may not hatch but they don’t die. They can just sit and wait for the perfect weather and the perfect host to walk by. Treat your pet year round with a professional medicine prescribed by your veterinarian. He or she will be able to recommend the best type of flea control for your pet’s age, breed and health status. Avoid flea shampoo or sprays. These are marginally effective, can irritate skin and are potentially more toxic than newer products. Stay safe and see your veterinarian for more information about fleas.
