when a flea bites u, it not only sucks ur blood.but it also releases an enzyme into ur blood which are allergents.it causes u itchy feeling.these allergents contain microorganisms (fro flea saliva) which peneterate through ur skin when u scratch urself.due to the action of ur body's immune system against the allergents u get lumps.

The produce a substance, like saliva, to numb the skin when they bite so they can feed away without you noticing, otherwise you'd jump a foot in the air when they bite and kill then. It's this stuff that's irritating to the skin.

Luciana is right! She didn't deserve a thumbs down.;)
It IS an allergic reaction to the bite.

because fleas suck blood! thats where its sucked blood and a lumps came up. you need to keep the fleas under control by trying different remadies, fleas can make cats/dogs very poorly and in some cases kill them.
