Abstract
Experimental evidence is presented which, for the first time, demonstrates the occurrence of a definite sequence of events in the skin reactions of guinea pigs following repeated exposure to flea bites. The sequence was: I-induction of sensitivity; II-predominately delayed skin reactivity; Ill-delayed and immediate responses; IV-predominately immediate reactivity; V-non-reactivity.Keywords
