The act of a flea biting someone or something; the process of being bitten by fleas repeatedly.
Present participle of the verb 'fleabite' (rarely used as a verb), formed during the 1700s when describing the annoying experience of flea infestations.
Even though we rarely say 'fleabiting' today, it perfectly describes that maddening experience of being bitten by fleas—the continuous, repeated irritation that made historical people desperate for any cure.
