What keeps sand fleas off of you?

DEET spray products work to repel insects and are effective against sand flies. If you're planning a trip to a beach that has sand flies, you can treat your clothing, blankets, and skin with a DEET spray that will give you hours of protection. You may need to re-apply after getting in the water!

In addition to the chemical makeup, other people believe that fleas are simply attracted to some scents more than others. This is why they might prefer a certain individual due to their natural body scent, sweat, and/or the products they apply to their skin, such as soaps, shower gels, deodorants, etc.

You probably won't notice when the female sand flea first enters your skin. Once it burrows into your skin, you may see a white circle that looks like a ring or halo with a black dot in the center. Over time, the black dot grows as the sand flea gorges on blood and gets bigger with eggs.
