Is it possible that two people sleep in a bed and only one gets bitten by fleas?


Question:


Answers:
Absolutely. Given a choice, fleas have "taste" preferences and will go after one person over another. Often it is diet.they don't like garlic for instance. You eat it in a meal and the odor comes out through the skin. In other cases, it may be metabolic. After all, the skin is an "organ". One of its jobs is to help the kidneys eliminate various waste products. This changes the "flavor" of the skin and attracts or repels fleas and other insects.

Other Answers:
Anything is possible. The fleas may be more attracted to one person or the person who's not getting bit may have no reaction to flea bites. People react differently to their bites.
yes, one might be more covered up than the other, or one might have different blood type or something
Yes taster meat.
We used to joke when we lived in california that there were boy bugs. MY husband son and my dad would get bit and my mother and i would not. Also consider fabric softener and perfume. and general body odor.
