Jiggers are small, burrowing fleas that can cause severe pain and disability in humans. They are found in tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, Asia, and Central and South America. Jigger infestations are a major public health problem, affecting millions of people worldwide.
The best way to prevent jigger infestations is to avoid contact with the fleas. This can be difficult, as jiggers are often found in areas where people live and work. However, there are a number of things that can be done to reduce the risk of infestation, such as wearing shoes, socks, and long pants when working in areas where jiggers are present, and avoiding sitting or lying on the ground in these areas.
