My son returned from camp & he has flea bites all over his legs. They are itching him so bad that a few of them look infected. I took him to the doctors office & all they recomended was benadryl & neosporin which isnt helping. His cabin was ate up with fleas & before him & his other 3 room mates discovered the fleas they all had bites all over them.

I am a believer of aromatherapy treatments. Been applying the following techniques to my kids for insect bites and so far so good. However, it takes an effort from your son to stop scratching during the treatment.
Tea tree helps in anti inflammation while lavender and chamomile have soothing effects.
Try applying a combination of tea tree and lavender essential oil directly on the bites. Repeat every hour or as and when required. If there is inflammation, apply an ice-cold compress with a few drops of chamomile essential oil or lavender to sooth the itch.
An added treatment would be adding 8 to 10 drops of the above oil to the bathwater daily. Hope it helps.

Oooh... that provides me the chills! i'm sorry to assert that the purely thanks to eliminate them is via flea-bombing the abode and treating each and every of the animals. oftentimes, if you're starting to be bitten via them, it truly is an infestation. So, it would not go away you lots ideas. i'm extremely particular the animals should be removed from the abode for a particular era of time, only because the people do, yet i'm not precisely particular how lengthy. also, that purely kills them interior the abode, so that you nevertheless ought to attend to the animals. the purely thanks to do it truly is with flea baths and flea treatment... ie., the flea-shelter things you position on their neck/back section. It would not sound like it truly is going to be low-priced, yet particularly, what decision do you've? undesirable infant... that should be maddening. GL to you!

Make sure all of his clothes that he took with him are washed. my cat had fleas before and it was horrible! It helped me a lot to have a warm shower or bath. Cortizone also helped a bit. Good luck!

First of all I would hire an attorney and sue the crap out of that camp, that's a health risk! I use Rhuligel, it works great for such things, read more here:
