> This is a very important message to my family & friends who have
> dogs-cats--and to alert you to the hazard of using a new Flea & Tick
> Preventative called ProMeris http://www.promeris .com/consumer/ .
>
>  This is a new product designed to be a more effective product than
other  flea/tick treatments that was just released this year. It is 
available
> thru a vet and not currently on-line. I got ProMeris this week for my 7
> dogs (6 Huskies & 1 Golden-Airedale) , and the results were
debilitating  for nearly all of them-including me. Since my incident this 
week, my
vet  has pulled it from distribution and alerted the manufacturer, Fort 
Dodge .
>
> Here are my results: Within less than 2 hours after applying, 4 of
my dogs  had vomited from 2-4 times, 3 were disoriented and stumbling, 1 was
> dragging his back leg, 1 was salivating. I had very similar symptoms
like  an allergic reaction-my lips were swollen, eyes very red, mucous
membranes  such as eyes, nose, and mouth were stinging. I was very 
disoriented-
dizzy  equilibrium and not able to drive. To make this a short story-all 7
of my dogs were admitted to the hospital for veterinarian care, and 3 of 
them
> remained for care, IV fluids and observation for 24 hours. I was in the
> emergency room. I'm home now and so are the dogs. We're all feeling
much  better. Vet bills were over $2,500 and Fort Dodge is paying for
these. Not  only can the product cause this reaction, it has a highly 
noxious odor
> that permeated the house and is just starting to dissipate after 3 days.
>
>  Your dogs/cats might not have the same reaction, but given my
experience-I  wanted to help you all become well-educated about the product.
