If you are having a mice problem in your home, can they bring fleas?

I think it is possible but not common. We live in an old house and have often had mice. We have multiple indoor pets. Neither the humans nor the cats & dogs have ever had fleas.

I might be paranoid but my ankles have been itchy for weeks. I do have pets but I don’t see any fleas. I do have a mouse problem that I am having a hard time getting rid of for almost a year now

Winter itch caused by cold air outside & dry air inside.

Haha scabies. Super rare and only wild mice have them. You can get fleas though. Have you called abelll or poulins?
