When I answer a question, I know the answer! If it is something I don’t know, but I think one of my WONDERFUL contacts might be able to help with, I “star” the question and tell the asker why I did. If you don’t know the answer, why say anything?

But I have seen answers in here that make my skin crawl! I own a pest control company, I know how to treat for fleas and ticks properly . (I live in Florida, I wouldn’t have a company anymore if I didn’t!) And some people go in and give stupid, if not dangerous answers! I just saw one today that told a woman to “use more bug bombs than they recommend” and that she “shouldn’t vacuum since it doesn’t kill fleas.” Well, dang! The bug bombs are poison, and the label states how many to use because the EPA tells them that is how many is safe! More than that is DANGEROUS!!! And not vacuuming, is plain dumb. There aren’t any chemicals labelled to kill the flea eggs. You have to vacuum to remove the eggs before they hatch!
I know there are products that when combined can possibly affect the eggs, but that is a flea biology lesson for another day.

And then there are questions like “I have an aggressive puppy” where people tell the asked to “smack it”! That just causes more aggression in a place where aggression probably wasn’t even to begin with!

Then there are the questions about the dog is sick, or the dog has allergies and people tell them what over the counter medicines to give the poor dog! They don’t tell them how much per body weight, just a name brand and that’s it! OMG! I wonder how many dogs have died from that type of advice!

Anyway, my rant is over. Did I miss anything?
