Has anybody here who is on a full paleo diet and has pets with fleas also noticed that the fleas do NOT bite you anymore?..has my blood now the wrong flavor?
Maybe others have had a different experience, but what I have noticed is that I never get bitten and no one else ever complains that they are being bitten either, unless there is an infestation of fleas, meaning there are just so many that there is already a crowd on the animals and so the fleas have to look elsewhere for blood.
The couple of times it has gotten to that point here, the only cure has been several baths
(each) for the animals, even the cats, with Dawn dish soap, then the flea medicine on their backs and then flea bombs in every room of the house, including the basement, then you have to wash the dog bedding and vacuum and dust, the entire house.
I spray everything down with a combination of borax and washing soda in hot water, which seems to kill any eggs the bombs might have missed, plus all the washing puts my mind at ease that I have removed "most" of the poison reside..even if it`s not so.
Anything less then all that, is a waste of time and you`ll have a constant recurrence.
Seems that once your getting bitten by fleas, it has already reached the saturation point.
I don`t have much of a problem with mosquitoes here, but that may be because of smoke.
If we sit outside we smoke, or have a small fire, or even smudge seems to keep them away for the most part.
There is something peculiar going on with wood ticks though!
We have been infested with those nasty little things for decades here in the North East, since no one burns the forests anymore to get rid of them, we have three seasons to deal with those blood suckers now and the only relief is in the winter.
What I have been noticing for the past few years though, is that if a tick bites me and latches on for a meal, the tick dies!
I have pulled quite a few dead ticks off of me, yet it doesn`t seem to happen that way if one of the boys, or other people, get bitten.
My older son had to be treated for Lyme disease (again) just last summer!
So, why would they die when they drill into me, why would I be so toxic to them?
Both boys eat pretty much the same as me now, especially the younger one.. and they both smoke. So I don`t understand it, or what in my blood just kills them dead like that!
Lol, that`s kinda scary when you think about it!
The quickest way to kill those critters seems to be by dropping them in an ash tray full of cigarette ashes. They try to crawl out for less then a minute, then just stop moving, so I wonder if it was not so much the burning of the forest, but the ashes it produced, that kills those critters off, so well!
