Abstract;This report describes human dermatitis that is probably caused by the bite of the house-martin flea, Ceratophyllus farreni chaoi, from a nest of barn swallows. This case represents the first described case of human dermatitis caused by the bite of C. farreni chaoi in Japan, and the first distributional record of the flea in the Chugoku District.
