Question 7

how long do sand flea bites last?

Accepted Answer

Up to you: If you are allergic to the bites, then they will itch for weeks.  If you scratch them, they will itch until you quit scratching them.  They can cause hard bumps called nodules if you continue to rub or scratch.  Also, are the fleas still around?  Other bites can look like flea bites and last a long time, such as scabies and other mites.  Hydrocortisone cream and oral Benadryl (diphenhydramine) will help the itch.

See below: The only possible risk would be skin irritation. It is more important to use sunscreen and protect from sunburn.

Question 9

can new sand flea bites show up days later?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: Sand fleas, as well as other biting insects, can trigger a delayed reaction at the bite site by a similar mechanism that causes the well known hypersensitivity reaction of poison ivy or poison oak rash, often as late as 2-3 days later. And similarly, an anti-inflammatory cream such as Hydrocortisone may blunt the reaction thus making it more tolerable and less itchy.

Question 10

why does it take a week for sand flea bites to show up?

Accepted Answer

Delayed reaction: Some people have delayed hypersensitivity reactions to the bite. Most of us are familiar with an immediate reaction - for instance a mosquito bites you and you immediately get a red, itchy bump. A similar reaction can be through a different pathway in your body, that can take days to activate and develop a reaction - it's called delayed hypersensitivity reaction, and likely what you are noting.
