Actually, most cases of ringworm in kids come from other kids. Then they infect the cat.

Thus, they'd better vet the kids that come to play, and that their kids associate with at school. You'll notice that pets don't get much lice. My little local pharmacy has three shelves of lice treatments.

About fleas: you don't even need to have any animals to get a flea infestation. They live easily in the lawn. And they can jump something like three feet at a time. They look for a warm body to feed on. Sometimes YOU are the warm body.

But I'm sure that everyone here has learned that if your dog or cat does have some fleas, it's usually best to just apply Advantage or Frontline. Especially cats. Thanks for the tip, Blast! (heeheehee!)
