A member asked:
While picking fleas off my dog i got a big itch in my ear, relived by q-tips but i'm scared a flea is in there even tho i don't have any more itching.

Not to worry: Dog fleas preferentially stick with dogs. They generally do not like humans and will drop off if they land on a human. A flea in your ear would, if lodged there, cause continuous symptoms - some painful and annoying. You probably have nothing wrong with your ear.
