A species of flea (Pulex penetrans), common in the West
Indies and South America, which often attacks the feet or any exposed
part of the human body, and burrowing beneath the skin produces great
irritation. When the female is allowed to remain and breed, troublesome
sores result, which are sometimes dangerous. See Jigger.
