…
i don't think they can live on humans like that.
they just use us as transport to their next tasty meal.
i was really worried about this a few months back as the cats got fleas and they (the cats) like to lay on my pillow when i'm not laying on it. i kept seeing fleas too and i was worried they were living in my hair. but once we treated the kitties the fleas quickly dispersed so obviously they weren't hanging out in our locks, as we didn't treat ourselves.
it can be scary though. i can't stand fleas. just seeing one makes you itch.

Fleas?
Well, I'm an 'outside girl' and I'm used to fleas around me. Never had them since my hair started to lock but yeah, i do have some knowledge on them...
As far as I know fleas don't like 'dirty hair', as people call it. Most of the times Fleas only liv eon scalps that aer washed regularly (read; washed every day) and all. And I know people weill get mad now, me calling dreads dirty, which I don't. But you don't wash your scalp every single day, I assume. So, because of that I dont' think you'll be "infected".
Also, a few fleas doesn't matter, as long as you don't find eggs in your roots. And even then it won't be a big problem. You could use those anit-flea shampoo's. You can because your locks are locking for that long already. You shouldn't with baby-locks, because it'll smooth down your hair and it'll stop the process, but with locks that old you can use them. They might get frizzy, but that'll be over in a few days.
So, my word is: Don't worry. Use shampoo if you're really, rea`lly scared, but there's no need to panic, okay?
G'luck!!!

Fleas?
Whowever I hadn't washed my dreads for 3 weeks and though I got lice!! I guess my hair were dirty after 3 weeks of not washing them, but I do got them!!!
So I washed my head whith a special shampoo against lice and their eggs 4 times a week and putted a plastic bagg over my head for like 1.5 hours and I got rid of them...
