Kathy - you beat me to the punch. I was going to ask if I needed to worry about fleas. I never treat for fleas (here in northern MN it is not a problem *grin*) but I have always treated prior to traveling to southern states. Next question someone posed to me (actually she is quite worried as she will be doing tracking) is what is the concern for snakes???? Any info to alleviate her worries will be greatly appreciated.
