So my cats got fleas and treated them with frontline 2 weeks ago but I been getting bit myself and might even be allergic since they are super itchi and won't go away.
I been doing some research and I read calamine lotion and ole Vera gel are good for these type of bites.

If any one knows any other medicines or tricks to treat flea bites please post.

Thanks in advance.

I take a lighter to the tip of a spoon or knife blade and then touch the top of the bite. Atleast works for mesquito bites. Wont help them go away any faster, but it kills the itch.

Aslong as you clean up your animals/house correctly fleas will die off shortly. They don't survive on humans very well.

Yeah I have a lot of carpet so that might be the big issue.

You need to vaccum every day and seal and throw away the bags every day as well, just treating them won't be enough. Also wear long pants or long socks to bed and make sure to change sheets etc
Rubbing alcohol is good for the itch
