Please look at the background of the "flea easily attached" section of the figure on the right. If there is something like black sand, let's hold it with wet cotton. When it turns reddish brown, it is "feces of fleas." It is proof that a flea is inhabiting a pet. Also, ticks are in mountains and riverside.

After going out further, it is effective to remove pests and garbage stuck on that day with flea collecting comb etc etc. Normally, fleas and ticks usually move quickly and can hardly be captured.

What are some diseases caused by mosquitoes? Here, we will explain filariasis, a typical disease caused by mosquitoes, and its preventive measures.

When a pet is bitten by a mosquito having micro filaria inside the body, filarial larvae enter the body of the pet and it develops as it grows in the blood vessel. In the early days, because there are only symptoms similar to the common cold such as "cheerful", "coughing", "breathing seems to suffer", "there is no appetite", discovery is often delayed. When parasitizing on blood vessels of the heart and lungs, there is a high possibility of death if left untreated. Even cats have cases.

Unfortunately. Spot types that are often found in flea and tick prevention medicines are disinfected from half a day to 1 day after adhering to the body of a pet, but there are also strong fleas and ticks that can eat until drugs are effective. When going out to places with many fleas and ticks, such as outdoor, check if it is attached to your body even if you are taking prophylactic medicine and remove it with a flea removal comb etc etc.
