Joe maybe you'll be able to understand me this way. Advantage is
to be applied as close to the skin as possible so that it can travel up
the hair follicles, it is not absorbed into the system. It works and is
extremely safe.

It does work, it is relatively safe. However, so are normal flea
collars.

I have been a tech. for 18 years not 16. But I didn't "harp"
on that at all, heck I didn't even mention it to you, until now and only
because you brought it up. Of course that has nothing to do with how my
posts look. Sorry if my posting skills don't meet your requirements.
I don't have the time to perfect them as I spend most of my time dealing
with real life animal care.

Then you show a lack of respect for other Usenet users. If you want
your post read by people you need to format them correctly.

If flea collars worked so well then why was flea control so
impossible (without bathing the animal, and treating the house/yard with
harsh chemicals ect...constantly-not that that worked well either) all
those years before Advantage/Frontline came onto the market?

Flea collars work fine, on most cats and for most of the year. At the
height of flea season products like Advantage give extra protection.

As for you saying, "At least I make an effort to give accurate,
considerate information." LMAO. nothing you say is considerate, just
nasty. But that seems to be the norm in here.
And I asked you to show some studies showing where Advantage has
killed any animal.

As yet there are only a few cases, but then Advantage forms a small
sector of the anti-flea market. As Advantage and Frontline are only
available through vets in the UK vets can, and do, warn people that
there may be an adverse reaction first time, and of course tell people
not to panic as the reaction usually passes after a couple of hours.
For cats who are already ill, or known to be allergic to things, vets
do not recommend Advantage.
