What are fleas?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fleas (Sipho\u00adnap\u00adte\u00adra) are late\u00adral\u00adly flat\u00adten\u00aded, wing\u00adless, brow\u00adnish insects capa\u00adble of enorm\u00adous jum\u00adping feats (up to 40 cm) due to their strong third pair of hind legs.

Dogs and cats are par\u00adti\u00adcu\u00adlar\u00adly affec\u00adted, but humans can also fall vic\u00adtim to the\u00adse para\u00adsi\u00adtes. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
