How to Manage Sand Flea Bites
If you've been bitten by sand fleas, the best approach for relieving the itching and discomfort is to avoid further scratching by using an anti-itch lotion or cream. Additionally, you should take steps to protect yourself from future flea bites in order to reduce the risk of potential infection.
How to Treat Sand Flea Bites
Apply an anti-itch lotion or cream, such as cortisone, as soon as you notice the irritation or itching caused by sand flea bites. Do not scratch the irritated area, as this can lead to infection. Additionally, iceberg lettuce can be placed on the affected area for 10 minutes to reduce inflammation.
How to Prevent Sand Flea Bites
- Avoid sand flea-infested areas when possible.
- Wear closed-toe shoes and pants to prevent fleas from reaching your skin.
- Spray insect repellent on yourself and clothing when you anticipate being in a flea-infested area.
- Do not wear heavily perfumed lotions, as they can attract fleas.
