Share a car with someone whose cats have fleas?

[sweetpea6002]

my friend’s cats have fleas! They are treating the cats and their home with sprays, shampoos and vacuuming etc.
my question is this…

1. They have asked if we want to visit and my kid sleepover. I said no.
2. should my kid travel in their car? it would be for about an hour as we are doing a day trip together. Otherwise my kid comes in my car.
3. is it a risk to allow my friend’s kid to come back to our house ?

the friends are super, we live in Sunderland. Never had this issue before.

Have you ever had to deal with fleas in your home, despite not having any pets?

I have and it's not fun. 😡

So, if I were you, I would give it a couple of weeks before both of your families meet up again.

Fleas do not live on humas they might bite bare flesh, but will then jump off. As a vet I deal with pets that are literally hooching with fleas nearly everyday ad have ever yet bought a flea home in 28 years.
