More than 2,000 cats and dogs have been reported dead after exposure to flea and tick medication since 2008, and some researchers are worried about human exposure to the pesticides.

    Never had a flea problem where I live but ticks are everywhere. Went online and found out that Brewer's Yeast and a bit of garlic do the trick nicely.

    Fleas can be toxic too.

    My ancestor's people were so completely devastated by the Bubonic Plague over a few centuries that chances are, I carry a gene to switch on my immune system to stop it.

    doubt it. It, like small pox(another formerly endemic disease), will kill whitey just as dead as the wogs

    IIRC this same story was brought up years ago which makes me wonder whether it's just a rehash because in this case it's definitely not a case of any publicity is good publicity which, makes me wonder why any company would allow this bad press to drag on for at least 5 years.

    From 2011.

    And this one from 2009

    Now to be fair, I watched a clinical psychologist on the news make the claim that the chemicals in pet collars are a major cause of autism so who the fuck knows what's true or not anymore. :roll:

    Nope a woman who they must have found in the bowels of some University somewhere. She looked like they didn't let her out to often though. :lol:

    I'm assuming you were asking if it was that halfwit Jenny McCarthy which, kind of threw me off because you decided to change the gender and name.

    Just making a connection. Sexist me assumed the psychologist was male. After googling, turns out that scientists do believe the environment is a major cause in the uptick to autism, so what do I know.

    They likely have a point but, putting it down to the chemicals in a flea collar is getting pretty specific considering that there are millions of toxic chemicals floating around being ingested, absorbed or inhaled by us daily.
