For much of human history, fleas were a common and persistent part of daily life. Long before modern sanitation and medical treatments, people across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East developed practical methods to cope with infestations in homes, clothing, and bedding. Historical records, household manuals, and personal accounts describe a wide range of approaches, from herbal preparations and fumigation to changes in architecture and sleeping habits.

In this episode of Soothing History for Sleep, we explore how earlier societies understood fleas, the remedies they relied on, and what these practices reveal about everyday life before modern medicine. By examining documented sources, traditional knowledge, and reported customs, this episode offers a calm and informative look at how people adapted to one of history’s most uncomfortable challenges—providing gentle historical insight designed to relax the mind and ease you into rest.
