One thing’s for sure. These
nasty little bloodsuckers don’t
make good houseguests. In fact,
they can cause a whole lot of
trouble for us and our pets.
Fleas don’t have wings.
But that’s no problem. They
just jump. If you could jump
like a flea, you could leap over a
fifty-story building. Fleas attack
warm-blooded
animals with razor-
sharp mouthparts. Then they slurp
up blood until they’re full.
What’s a louse’s favorite snack?
Your skin and blood. The little insect
grabs hold of your hair with its tiny
claws. Then it slices and dices your
skin like an expert chef.
As far as lice are concerned,
nothing’s tastier than YOU.
