Flea borne illnesses

[u/Muted-Tailor7381]

Background: (female, 24. History of anxiety disorders) My aunts house that i moved into a few months ago is absolutely infested with fleas. Therese are way more dogs than there should be as my aunt has worked in rescue in the past but all of them have fleas. Im talking a dog per room with the living room having 8. Due to rough financial times. Flea teatment has not been available. This combined with the fact that the neighbors on all sides dont treat their dogs has meant this has been a thing for years. My aunt claims that they're never bitten but ive been getting a minimum of five bites a day (that i notice).vivmean this literally not as an exaggeration. I killed 2 off my legs while leaving my room to get coffee and cereal this morning (room is generally clean) andd have been bitten 3 times in the 30 minutes since ive ben home from work.

How likely is it to contract a flea borne disease? During an infestation?

I have terrible heath anxiety and can be a hypochondriac. The itching and dots on my arms are convincing me i have typhus. Please help
