Surely this page can be combined with tungiasis? --Gak 12:45, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Introduction from West Indies to Africa

The following statement has been removed from the main article pending adequate referencing. --Gak 07:47, 31 October 2006 (UTC) "According to sources, the flea was introduced into Africa in 1873 by the ship Thomas Mitchell"

[edit] Size

The article states that the flea is 1mm in size, but then "increases in size by 2000 to 3000"... I rather doubt that a flea can reach the size of 2 to 3 meters!!!

Anyway, "increases in size by 2000 to 3000" is not correct English. IronChris | (talk) 05:00, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
