Has anyone dealt with a serious allergy to fleas?

Asked by lasuz (105points) October 24th, 2015

I am a pet lover with dogs and cats but have just developed a flea allergy. I have had all of them treated and had the outside of the house and the inside treated with natural flea products-specifically powder and also a spray. I additionally purchased some electronic pest repellants from Amazon. I also am now taking oral odorless garlic tabs and Vitamin B-12.

Every flea bite I get turns into large welts and spreads up and down my body. It really scares me. I am now on an antibiotic, Benadryl, something for my stomach. I have been under a lot of stress the last several years and I’m guessing this is why this allergy developed.

Anyway I’d like to hear from anyone who has dealt with this and how you handled it. Something positive would be appreciated too!
