Kelly,
I have in the past discussed heartworms w/ Dr. Smith, and he said he has
seen one case in 40+ years.
I have never seen a case, myself,but I have seen several cats have skin
reactions,nerve damage & death even from Revolution.

See, I use Revolution every month, especially on my heart disease
kitty. I am more worried about heartworms than nerve damage or skin
reactions. Not that nerve damage is good, but everything is a
crapshoot it seems. I'd rather have nerve damage than heartworms.
(Not that I want either).
Some vets lately have been recommending Advantage Plus, which is
supposed to kill everything Revolution does. I have not studied it
yet and it is not available at the source from which I get my
Revolution.
