When the fleas bite, the saliva from the fleas makes the skin of the person that was bitten, itch.

love history [14]
Correct me if i’m wrong, but i believe it’s a: 2000 ml. Since the baby needs 100 ml of fluid per kg, that would mean multiplying 10 by 100 (1000 ml). That’s over 24 hours. You just double it, which turns out to be 2000 ml. Hope this helps!
