Fleas are parasites which carry bubonic plague, pneumonic plague, flea-borne typhus, tapeworm and cat scratch fever, to name a few interesting diseases.

Speaking of fleas is anybody else having a terrible time with fleas this year? We are. Frontline not working, nothing working. The lady at Pet Smart told us to save our money that the fleas are getting immune to the insecticides.

We discovered Diatomaceaous Earth. If you get the food grade variety at Home Depot or a feed store and dust your pet with it and also dust your carpets etc. it sucks the fluid out of the insects and leaves them a dried up husk and is non toxic. Just sharing.

Well, then, what about the rights of those bacteria and virii? Just because it may cause death, disfigurement and terrible pain in human beings and animals, why should its right to life be invalidated? Are we such bigots that we cannot see the genocide we are committing to these little friends? /S
