You know what else gets rid of fleas? All of those products you can get from the vet and pet stores. You know? The ones that have been scientifically proven to safely get rid of and prevent fleas. Why would you do this to your own cat?

Yeah these people are dumb but let’s not pretend like the pet pharma industry is vetted and regulated like the pharmaceutical industry that makes medicines for humans.

These anti flea solutions are literally pesticides. And pesticide regulation is decades behind the science.

Can’t spray fipronil in an egg farm against lice but it’s a-okay to put it on my cat who will lick their fur?
