>Subject: Can a person get fleas??
Bad news Lisette...yes it can happen. MOF, my cat & ferret had never
been out of my 2nd floor apt (except for the vet of course) & I had an
infestation that you couldn't believe - & it wasn't from the former tenant.
That was many years ago, long before we had such wonderful, safe &
effective products like Frontline & Fleabusters.
I got a kick out of the way my vet explained it to a client. She said, you
get out of your car & the flea says "hop on, lets see where she's going," &
you carry them into the house on your sneaker. If it's a female w/eggs,
you have 300 fleas w/in 3 weeks. & if only half of them lay 300 eggs...&
so on, & so on...you get the picture. Before you know it you're completely
infested.
My vet says she recommends the Frontline spray over the Top Spot because
ferrets are so small & the Top Spot is so concentrated. She feels the
spray is safer. I use it & am completely happy w/it.
I suggest you remove your clothes & put them in a plastic bag that you can
tie closed until they can be washed after being w/him just in case any have
jumped on for a ride. Get Fleabusters for your home (carpet & upholstery)
& your car too.
