proving with cat flea feces?

Post by Hennie Duits »

Would anyone know if there's ever been done a proving with cat flea
(ctenocephalides felis) feces?
Can't find it on http://www.provings.info.
It might be an allergenic substance.

Hennie,

"Flea dirt" is most unlikely to be an allergenic substance. Allergens are always of a protein nature and there is none left in flea excrement, as it is digested and thus the proteins have been broken down, to become flea food. What is irritating about fleas chemically, is the histamine-like substance they inject into their victims, as a blood thinner, so that the blood does not clot while they drink it. They drink 22 times their own weight in blood per day! It takes a lot of itchy-making histamine type substance, to achieve that. So if you are looking for a remedy vaguely related to that then histaminum would be it.

Namaste,
Irene
