Can people catch fleas from dogs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Flea bites: You can get flea bites from fleas on dogs. Typically pt will be seen in the spring with many itchy spots on the extremities and it turns out they have a dog. You can apply moisturizer and hydrocortisone 1% to the spots for relief of itching, but get the dog checked out
