Release a bunch of them around McCain. We need a backup in case he “survives” his brain cancer.
Nice map.
The dot in Montana is the Brother of a friend of mine from college.
He was guiding some hunters on an antelope hunt.
One of the hunters shot a doe, he offered to field dress it.
A flea bit him (not that he knew at the time)...days later he had some odd pains...the Doctor made a FANTASTIC diagnosis and saved him from some misery. Fantastic call by the Doctor at the time.

No, is hamster, filigree.
Thanks for that very interesting story.

Doers mclame have fleas?
Probably not. Fleas have class. Not much but enough to know to steer clear of John McCain.
Concerns, symptoms and treatment contained in the thread introduction

But the Desert Bloom from the rains this year bloom not only plants but parasites, too. Fleas just went crazy here in Centex with the extremely rare mid-summer rains.
The southwest sure has more than its fair share.
Thanks, I never knew this.
Are you from Barcelona?.................
Flea meds for dogs are neurotoxic. I’d focus on making homemade concoctions like garlic oil and rubbing it on the dogs. There are other essential oils that fleas also hate, can’t remember what they are but search online, then mix drops of these oils with a carrier oil like coconut or olive (usually the essential oil is too strong to use alone) and apply and brush into the dog’s fur. Some smell so nice and strong that you literally don’t need much - insects, when they hate a smell, don’t come aboard. So doggy isn’t greasy at all. Just has a slight scent of whatever.
One of Tony Hillerman’s detective novel The First Eagle includes a description of how the local public health department handled the problem by seeking out the source and destroying the animals that are vectors.
that book was published awhile back, but I suspect it's still being done, not just for plague but for the mouse borne Hanta virus that pops up every decade or so.
