You Can’t See Them, but They’re There

Introduction

If it’s not your pet that’s making you sick, maybe it’s the fleas or bedbugs. These tiny creatures are almost invisible to the naked eye, but that doesn’t mean they can’t make you sick. If you’ve got a pet in the house, there may be even more critters crawling around than you think—and they could be making you ill. Or if it’s not your pet and it’s not pests: what else could be causing your allergies? It turns out there are plenty of other sources of allergens besides animals or insects. You might have an allergy test done to find out exactly what is triggering your symptoms (and then treat accordingly).

If you’ve got a pet in the house, you might have even more critters.

Pets can carry parasites—fleas, ticks, lice, mites and even worms. In addition to the obvious dangers of these creatures biting or scratching your pet, they can also transfer them to you and other family members. If any of these critters are making their way through your home, it’s best to have a pest control service come out and assess the situation. They may be able to recommend something non-toxic for pet control that will get rid of all those annoying little guys!

If you have a cat or dog with fleas in your house—or worse yet—an infestation of them (which is easy for any animal that goes outdoors often) then there are several things you should do immediately:

  • Scrub down all surfaces with hot water and soap; this will kill most adult fleas on contact but if there’s already an established population in one area (like near where they sleep), then repeat this process again after 24 hours because some fertile eggs may still hatch!
  • Vacuum every day until no noticeable bugs are found anymore; vacuum cleaners are great at sucking up dead bodies or eggs as well as live ones so just keep at it until everything has been eliminated completely!

An allergy test can tell you whether your pet is making you sick.

There are two ways to test for allergies. The first is a blood test, which detects the presence of allergens in your system. The second method is an intradermal skin test, also called an epicutaneous testing (epi-kyoo-TAYN-ee-ul). It involves injecting small amounts of potential allergens under the skin and observing how the body reacts. Severe reactions may be treated with steroid medications like prednisone, but milder symptoms can be managed by using antihistamines that combat inflammation and itching caused by histamine release during an allergic reaction.

Bedbugs can live anywhere humans live.

Bedbugs are small, flat, brown insects that feed on the blood of humans and animals. They are found in places where people sleep.

They can be found in hotels, hostels, shelters and cruise ships as well as other public places such as transit systems and movie theaters.

Fleas can spread diseases like typhus and plague.

They’re small, but fleas are mighty. Flea bites can cause an allergic reaction in some people, which is why it’s important to avoid them at all costs. If you have pets, you might be familiar with the itchy red welt that forms when they get bitten—and if you do get bit by a flea and develop an allergic reaction (called flea allergy dermatitis), your pet might need medication too.

But there’s more to the story than just itchy skin: Fleas can also spread diseases like typhus, plague and murine typhus fever! This can happen when they jump from animals like dogs into homes where people live or visit often enough for their bodies to become infested with the parasites’ eggs.

Fleas aren’t always visible either—they can thrive in dark places like crevices between floorboards or furniture cushions where their eggs will hatch over time into larvae that feed on organic matter like dead insects or animal fur until they mature into adults again before laying more eggs themselves.

You may not be able to see them, but they are there.

You may not be able to see them, but they are there. If you’ve ever been in a house with a mouse or rat problem, you know what it’s like to hear that sound—the scratching of tiny claws on wood and concrete as the rodent scurries around your home. Similarly, if you own an aquarium or keep tropical plants indoors, you may have heard of the dreaded term “invasive species.” Invasive species can refer to any plant or animal which has been introduced into an area where it is not native and causes environmental damage through competition with local flora and fauna for resources like food and space.

Orchids are often thought of as exotic flowers because they grow in tropical climates such as South America and Asia—but did you know that some varieties can actually survive winter temperatures? You might think these flowers would need special care but in reality all they require is regular watering every few days (depending on how hot your house tends to get). In fact, since most people don’t live in lush greenhouses all year round, keeping an orchid alive throughout winter can be quite simple!

Conclusion

In conclusion, this article was meant to show you that even though you may not be able to see them, there are tiny creatures living in your home. It is important to learn about these creatures so that you can avoid being infected by them or spreading them around your house.
