Human Flea (Pulex irritans)
This page features illustrations of the Human Flea (Pulex irritans) in various formats such as PNG, SVG, and AI. Despite its name, the Human Flea has a wide host spectrum and is believed to have originated in South America with an original host possibly being a guinea pig or peccary. The lifecycle of the Human Flea consists of eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults. These pests cause itching and skin irritation when they bite, resulting in scratching by the host and inflamed skin that can persist for weeks. Clusters of bites or small rows are common with Human Flea bites.
