Hey guys,
My flat-mate picked up a crying puppy from the street. Its very adorable and cute. But the poor thing is crawling with fleas and ticks and what not. We do not have disinfectants right now, so we just gave him a normal bath and wrapped him in sweaters so he can get some sleep for the night. Tomorrow we will take him to the vet and get him de-wormed, disinfected and checked. However, what I am getting rather freaked out about right now is more about my own health. Are ticks and fleas contagious. The puppy has been practically walking all around the house. I am getting rather paranoid. Do ticks or fleas get into human hair? I have also started psychologically feeling as if something is crawling in my hair and I constantly keep scratching it :s
