Can an excessive amount of flea bites be harmful on a human?


My fiance is having a horrible time getting rid of fleas. He has 4 cats and two dogs in the house. They go outside everyday to use the bathroom. The are completely covered in fleas and even if we were to get them flea collars, flea medicines, etc, they will always just bring more in from the outside and I'm sure they are in the carpet.
Lately they have been biting my feet and legs A LOT. I have around 10 - 20 bites on each foot and the same on my legs. I can't get them to quit and its very annoying.

Can anyone help me out?
