Posted By The toecap One of the guys on our site has fleas. And this is infecting others in a minor way. What should we do about it?

Posted By Dave Wilson Somehow methinks this is a wind up! However it is very rare that 'humans' get fleas they are probaly from the cat /dog and in the carpet etc so get the room treated by a competent pest control company and get this chap to frontline his animals

Posted By sagalout He may not know the exact cause of his itchy problem. How do you know it is an infestation of my mates? If you are sure and certain then either get those who are directly affected by his temporary(?) condition to put a flea in his ear!! Or having a kindly word with him would be the most supportive way to deal with this. Do it quietly and not in the middle of the tea break when everyone is listening, even if they all know about it anyway. Yours pulex irritans (I am the human one by the way and although we can act as vectors for disease, it is very rare) p.s hopping off to my next takeaway now-bibi

Posted By The toecap This is not a wind up. The lads are claiming they've seen little things jumping on him. And they've all had little bites on them. I do know he has cats.
