Where Do Sand Fleas Bite?

Sand fleas are a very common type of pest, and if you spend time in an area that is frequently infested, you may want to protect yourself by using insect repellent. You should also avoid sitting or lying on the sand, and wear clothing that covers your lower legs. There are several commercial insect repellents available that will help you avoid being bitten by sand fleas, but they are not effective against all types of sand fleas. If you do get bitten, you will find it extremely itchy and uncomfortable. Fortunately, you can treat the bites with anti-itch creams and they will go away on their own.

Sand fleas usually bite the skin at the back of the thighs, but they can also bite ankles and calves. It is best to wear footwear that covers your ankles and calves, and use insect repellent on your feet and legs. You can also apply essential oils to repel the gnats and fleas.

Sand fleas are small insects that spend most of their time near the ground. They feed on the blood of humans and animals, and they can bite at any time of the day. Their bites may not cause any immediate symptoms, but they can become red and irritated. In some severe cases, multiple bites can cause painful blisters or ulcers that can make walking difficult.
