I will post some pics when I have worked out how to.
Basically my son has been bit a lot over the past few weeks - usually once he is home from his dads place (dad lives with ds nan still) and she has about 9 cats. None of which are properly flea treated. One cat has been shaved due to flea infestation. I have moaned a fair bit about this and DS dad said he will make sure bedding is washed etc. We do have a cat who is front lined monthly but as his bites have got worse in the past week I have literally washed everything on a hot wash, even cushion covers off the sofa. I have front lined the cat again, and even bathed her just in case. I used RIP fleas in the living and play room. He appears to have been bitten more in the last few days.
I have been making sure our cat stays in the utility room and back rooms or outside as I am so paranoid plus I now have been bitten although mild compared to DS. I am fed up now. I have used calamine on him, rechecked the cat who is clear, antihistamines. The lot. I have also ordered more RIP fleas and front line to double check the cat.
Can fleas travel on clothing? I am wondering if he has brought some back with him on clothing?
Are there any other measures I can be doing? I am thinking GP for cream next...
