Undisturbed and without a blood meal, a flea can live more than 100 days. On average, they live two to three months. Female fleas cannot lay eggs until after their first blood meal and begin to lay eggs within 36-48 hours after that meal.
Well, I moved into this apt. in October of 2013. The laundry bag had a drawstring on it which was loosely pulled shut. Like I said in my other post, it's been sitting in my closet for almost 5 years, and has been moved occasionally. I REALLY hope that's not what bit me, because I had the infestation from hell in the other apt.. LOL
Yesterday, I took the blanket off my bed, along with my mattress topper and threw them out. I didn't want the blanket anyway and the topper was somewhat ruined from kitty claws. And today, again to be safe, I threw out the bag with all the bags in it in the dumpster. Just in case..
I just wish I knew for sure what bit me. I'm paranoid whenever I get an itch now.. lol
