If you have been scratching more
attacker could be a tiny, jumping foe.
Margaret Haggan, a physician at Watkins Memorial Hospital, said more people than last fall were reporting problems with the minute critters.
"We've had a lot of people coming in for treatment of flaec bites," she said.
Symptoms include "red bites, frequently found on the feet and legs and severe itching." "Haggan said.
For patients with several bites, Haggan said she could prescribe anthistamines to relieve itching.
A hospital spokesman said she could

There may be 20 percent more fleas in Lawrence-area homes this year, Sam Kumar, a Lawrence exterminator, said.
Kumar said the flea population increased because of a warm winter last year.
Fleas ride into houses on pets and people after jumping from the grass to a pantleg or a paw. Once inside, fleas often lay eggs in carpets.

"I don't want people to report that they are victims and have the police conduct a thorough investigation and then have the people back out," Malone said. "This incident has the 'cry wolf' syndrome to it."
The incident, which resulted in the stabbing of one man and the injuring of several others, occurred after a

Malone said that the KU police investigation had acted as a deterent to further confrontations. He said, however, that the current lack of cooperation from the victims was a major factor in the filing six to eight possible charges and keep the case from going to court.
