Are you sure it's fleas? Dog/cat fleas don't usually like to bite humans. I mean, a few bites here and there, maybe, but not a lot. If it really is felas, and the problem has gotten to that point, you might have to flea bomb your house.

WOW sorry about your bites. Calamine lotion for the bites. I would bomb the house if it is that bad. The cats are getting advantage, frontline or revolution monthly? If you do bomb the house, take the cats out in the car with you for a couple of hours or more, but don't leave them unattended in the car at all. While you bomb, just have then in their carriers in the garage waiting for the drive.... Good luck, that is no fun at all

Vaccuum them all away -- for the irritation you could try various baby or other powders or anti-itch creams or sprays. To prevent them from biting? You might try your cat's flea spray on your ankles.
My cousin always gets bitten by the fleas -- I don't. It depends on if the fleas are attracted to one person and not another -- her socks are full of fleas!
I bought a flea spray product for cats to spray under the desk where she works at home until the fleas are all dealt with.
