Fleas inject saliva, which contains anticoagulants and other compounds, through their specialized mouthparts while feeding on a host's blood. This saliva prevents blood clotting and can cause irritation, allergic reactions, and itching in the host. The saliva is not venomous like that of some other insects; instead, it primarily facilitates feeding and elicits an immune response from the host.
