If bitten by fleas, first clean the bitten area with mild soap and water. Then apply an antiseptic lotion or cream to prevent infection. You can also use calamine lotion to relieve itching. Avoid scratching the bites as it may cause further irritation and increase the risk of infection. Take an antihistamine if the itching is severe. Keep the environment clean and vacuum regularly to prevent flea infestations. If the symptoms persist or worsen, consult a doctor. Wear long sleeves and pants to protect yourself from further bites.
