I am a licensed rehabber. I normally treat all intakes that have fur with Revolution, but if they are very compromised I do not until they are healthy. That said, I have had some squirrels this year and used my bonding scarf when syringe feeding - when finished with one, I place it in the scarf. Sometimes they all fell asleep and I left them in the scarf on me and sat on the couch to work on my computer. A couple of weeks later I kept finding tiny black bugs crawling on me (one at a time) when I sat on the couch. A few have bitten me and the tiny bites are itchy for a couple of days. I was concerned they were fleas, but they crawled instead of jumping. It has become more frequent that these little bastards crawl on me. Are these mites from the squirrels? How do I get rid of them?!! Thanks.
