Beware Cinema Seat Flea Bites

Lately I have been seeing more cases of itchy bites on thighs and arms especially after watching a movie. Whether in Gurney Plaza or Queensbay, which are new cinemas, there may be unseen bugs in the seats. All it takes is to have one person who has head lice or fleas to sit on the chair and you will soon have a colony waiting for the next victim. Especially if it is a kids movie like Shrek, you never know what those kids might have in their hair or fingernails!

Anyway if you get bitten by fleas or bed bugs, they will be at those exposed areas of your body in contact with the seat. Mainly the thighs and arms. There are itchy red raised spots that are extremely itchy . It takes ages, maybe 1 or 2 weeks for the spots to disappear.

So beware, wear long pants or long sleeves to prevent it.
