Never have flea invested child round again

[Bloodyhellgirls]

Had a child round for a playdate who brought with her fleas. I saw one on her. Now our house is being sprayed and I'm worried about the chemicals and my baby. I'm so annoyed. Am I being reasonable to never have him over again, I kind of feel sorry for the child

You saw a flea on a child in your house and you assume the child brought it?

Are you sure that they were fleas and not lice? Do you have pets, could they have come from them on to her?

Well. It’s definitely not the child’s fault. What did the parent/guardian have to say about it?

I feel ya. I stopped sending mine to their ah that dog filled house because they cane back with so many bites - but she insisted it wasn't her dogs they don't have fleas
Just keep an eye out for any hopping about, treatments are pretty effective

*aunty's not ah that 🙄

her and a him? hmm...

How could you possibly be 100% sure that the flea didn't enter your home in some other way and jump ONTO the poor kid.

I do hope that you haven't been outspoken about this in front of your child. Kids can be cruel and IF this childs homelife is under par he/she doesn't need the additional stress.
As for whether you should have him/her over again, no I don't think you should.

I'm more concerned that the child has apparently spontaneously changed sex during the course of your post.

Fleas can lay dormant in carpets. It’s possible they were in your home and have started waking up.

If you're going to make up a story it helps if you stick to the same pronouns, OP.

Infested OP.

Not invested.

Powerful fleas changing a child's sex.

Don't be ridiculous. Fleas do not live on people. It's probably come from your house.

Follow the instructions properly on the flea household treatment and your child will be fine. As long as he/she survives a lifetime of judgy mum.

I'd be very surprised if the flea remained on this child all the way from her house to yours. Are you sure it's not you with the flea problem?

Is this a bit like the flea circus Michael Bentine had?

Can I invest too?

Am I being reasonable to never have him over again

Definitely don't have the flea over again. What does he think you're running, a circus?

I was accused of being the cause of a flea/insect bite a school 'friend' got outside of school. My regularly flea treated cats had obviously given me a flea which had stayed on me for a 2 mile walk to school and then waited until I was next to this girl at some point in the day, hopped on to her, ridden a couple of miles home with her before feasting on her that night. It clearly does happen although not all the time as the hungry flea never bit anyone who came to our house. Clearly only the flea with wander-lust.

I think you need to read up on how fleas work.

Pronouns mixed up in an attempt to protect identities. Of course I haven't said anything to the child, I feel compassion for this kid. Definitely came from childs house as they have cats. We dont have any. Childs mum mentioned fleas on cat a while back but I thought a person wouldnt carry them around. I see I'm wrong.

You “kind of” feel sorry for a child with fleas?

I would certainly like to give the OP a flea in the ear.

Are having fleas a fetish?

🤣

Fleas dont live on humans

Definitely came from childs house as they have cats.
Fleas do not remain on humans.
