Could she have picked up fleas?

There're lots of lakes around in Fl and I heard the grass around may have fleas. I'm not sure if it's true but my pup is not allowed to go on the grass in my back yard as we live on the lake. If he wants to get dirty and roll around on the grass, we take him somewhere else. More work but I don't want to risk it.

Scooter does itch but he doesn't have fleas. I'm sure it's pollen because I also have a stuffy nose a lot of the time and the doctor said it was allergies.

It never fails whenever the pollen starts both me and Guinness gets sinus infections and start itching, Stella never seems to have problems.

Lots of fleas in FL. They are hard to detect if your pup has dark or thick hair. Is she on any flea preventative?
