Exactly - good, glad to know I wasn't mistaken all these years :)   Kris http://www.spazstory.zoomshare.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Ashleigh Smith To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Sunday, June 04, 2006 4:55 PM Subject: Re: fleas, Frontline and FeLV Yes, flea dirt is excrement.  If you put a bit on a wet paper towel, you will see it turn red (because of the blood in it.)  That's how you can tell it isn't real dirt, but flea excrement.    I use Frontline every 3 months as a preventative measure, and Bella has never had fleas.   ~Ashleigh gwork <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I was always told the "flea dirt" was flea excrement/waste. You can see those flecks or droppings anywhere the animal has been as they drop off the body. At any rate, I agree that if someone is seeing them without having to look very hard, there is an infestation that needs attention ASAP.
