I'm a journalist involved with the Big Flea Project, the UK's largest study of fleas being supported by Chris Packham. The aim is to raise awareness among pet owners and improve treatment.  Most flea bites on people prove harmless, but can be more serious - for example, causing severe allergic reactions or flea-borne diseases.
