Comments on: Flea-control product glues dog to inside of crate http://www.petconnection.com/blog/2009/10/08/flea-control-product-glues-dog-to-inside-of-crate/ Blogging by a team of pet-care experts led by Dr. Marty Becker.

I was prompted to write an ebook on safer flea control since the initial flea product suspect list was removed from the EPA website. It was later replaced with a more comprehensive list but the removal of the initial list made me uncomfortable and caught my attention. Frequently I read about flea control product incidents. Many are from OTC (over the counter) products or those purchased from suspect sources. I've written about counterfeit flea products and related topics on the blog but want to remind people that those products purchased, although convenient are pesticides. If you have an incident please report it. You can find that and other useful websites posted in a resource area on my <a href="http://fleacontrolsecrets.com/fleatreatment/resources/" rel="nofollow">flea treatment blog</a>. In addition, there are alternative options discussed in videos and in the blog posts. This month the EPA should be releasing their findings on spot-on flea control products.

I had a simiar thing happen to me with super glue. After numerous times of using it, and (of course !) getting it on my skin with no ill effects, I spilt a drop on my trousers. It caused a chemical reaction immediately, fumes came off it as it literally boiled I could hear it fizzing, it melted the fabric which stuck to my skin and it burnt like hell. I guess a warning/indication should be added to the packaging then, although it's sounds like this was a 'perfect storm' of events. Bayer are to be commended on their reaction as far as compensating for all costs, good to see. Sounds lucky that it was a hairy dog, a smooth coat may have suffered chemical burns.
