his dog got it from fleas and then he got fleas, the fleas must have been carriers of typhus
we use FrontLine Plus on our dogs and cat. thank goodness.
Yikes. I remember one summer, years ago, the fleas were the worst. Even in my mother-in-law’s immaculate home we were getting bit by fleas because she let her cat go out.
My friend, who also let her cats go out, and one was allergic so she couldn’t use any of the usual stuff on it, actually called the Bronx Zoo and talked to the bug guy. He spoke to her for an hour, I think, and at the end she was basically a flea expert.
Nobody got typhus though, thank goodness!
