All about Fleas

• Fleas spend 95 percent of their time OFF your dog.
• It is said that fleas will abandon your pup in a rapid manner if you routinely add to each quart of its drinking water a teaspoonful of vinegar.
• If you let your dog in your house, experts recommend you put flea powder or a piece of a flea collar in your vacuum cleaner bag. It's an incubator for flea eggs, that bag.
• Only about 120 of the 2,000 species of fleas will bite people.
• A flea can jump 120 times its own length.
• The force withstood by a flea when it accelerates in a jump is said to climb to about 150 Gs—pretty close to that of a car hitting a brick wall at 200 mph.
• Himalayan snow fleas freeze solid overnight, then thaw out in the morning.
