One of my students came to class covered in flea bites. They were all over his arms and face. He explained he got them at 24-Hour Fitness on Crenshaw and PCH.
I asked if he was sure the gym was the source of the bites and he said his friend, also an El Camino student, got covered by flea bites after returning from the same 24-Hour Fitness.
I talked to yet another student, a personal trainer, who said that particular gym has a notorious reputation for being filthy.
Word to the wise. Avoid that gym and don't go and leave your kids at the daycare.
Update:
A nurse told me the infestation may not be fleas, but scabies, which would account for my student's allergic reaction.
