You don't see them you don’t feel them but they are there the sand fleas. As a result of my baggage problem I did not use insect repellent. On the flight home I noticed little red spots all over my legs and the following week it itched like crazy. To prevent this be sure to use insect repellent with a concentration of at least 6.5% DEET every time you go out, after swimming and repeat at least every two hours.

Review Helpfulness: 4.5 out of 5 stars
