How to stop fleas biting me?
I have a new job working with animals and I'm coming home with new flea bites daily :( they itch like crazy. I'm using ice and calamine lotion to ease the bites but is there anything I can use that will stop me getting bit? They seem very attracted to me but the feeling is not mutual haha. Thanks in advance.

i have the same problem. i keep getting flea bites. i found some answers online to prevent flea bites and they might help.
1. Eat garlic. fleas don't like the taste or smell of garlic. i guess.
2. use lemon or something that smells like lemon and rub some on your skin. fleas don't like lemon.
3. use or rub essential oils like lavender, ceder wood, and eucalyptus oils on your skin.
These are some answers i found to stop fleas from biting you. im going to try putting lemon on my skin. im not sure of eating garlic. i don't like garlic. but i hope u stop your itching. hope i helped. =)

Never mind about your feet, what about the poor cat?! Get the poor thing some proper flea treatment - and I mean from a vets, not a pet store, Flea treatments from pet stores don't work, you need some Frontline or Advantage or Revolution. You may also need some spray for the house. Once you've properly treated the cat and your house you will not get bitten any more either - though I hope your concern is more for your cat than for your feet. Chalice
