Animal Fleas and Humans



Getting rid of fleas in a building is of a different nature from dealing with household pets. Elimination of the suspected stray animals is indispensable.

This statement from a Ministry Official seems strange:

 He underscored that the flea infestation was a result of a combination of flea-infested dogs and cats being inside the school, thus spreading the fleas to the attic of the school where there is a large compilation of documents which was the breeding ground for the invasion.

Is this a case of the blind leading the blind?
