Hi Kaayo1!

 

Fleas are nasty little buggers that can multiply by thousands in just a few weeks.

When your friend treated her apartment and belongings, they would need to have been treated a second time within 21 days to kill the eggs. I also believe (at least from my experience) that sprays don't cut it. She would have to bomb the apartment with flea bombs. So it could be that you are still being bitten by fleas and not know it! 

 

I found this link to pictures of what a flea bite looks like Here. You may want to look at your bites to see if they are similar. It's possible a little benedryl might help the itching. If you don't think you are being bitten, then it might be time to see your doctor. Could be you are still suffering from the effects of the histamine that the flea bites caused.

 

Good luck and let us know how you're doing!!
