Pulicosis (also known as flea bites) is a skin condition caused by several species of fleas including the cat flea (Ctenocephalides felis) and dog flea (Ctenocephalides canis). This condition can manifest itself after only a single flea bite. The bite(s) may not even be noticed. Within minutes of being bitten skin irritation begins. This can range from extremely mild irritation to severe irritation.
