    Interesting!

    This was posted by Rock Robster years ago - DO NOT use flea collars - they are not meant for human use.

    WTF? A flea collar? I have NEVER let my PETS wear them......sheeeeesh.....
    Our cats lost hair and burned their skin when we tried to use them as directed. To use them when directly warned not to is not the right thing to do.

    Mud,

    We used cat flea collars. We dont need to buy a dog to read the warning labels on the dog collar boxes:

    Description
    HartzĀ® UltraGuard™ Flea & Tick Collar for
    Puppies kills both fleas and ticks for 7 months.
    This collar has a clean, fresh scent and is water
    resistant. For use on puppies 6 weeks of age and
    older.
    READ ENTIRE LABEL BEFORE EACH USE.
    USE ONLY ON DOGS.
    Precautionary Statements
    HAZARDS TO HUMANS AND DOMESTIC
    ANIMALS

    Negril.com cannot condone them for human usage, even the manufacturer warns against it.
