You've all hear of flea markets, probabley stayed in a flea bag or two, but have you ever seen a flea circus?

The flea circus originated in England in the 1830's and have a long history. These circuses have been found at carnivals and a side-show attraction since then. I guess you could say, training them is fast becoming a lost art.

Circuses aside, the flea is an amazing creature. They can:
- Pull 160,000 times their own weight
- Jump 150 times their own size
- Can jump 30,000 times without a break
- Fleas alternate the direction of their jumps
- Fleas are attracted to carbon dioxide

In my house the only good flea is a dead flea. Flea infestation is not a good thing. I strongly recommend getting any prevention treatment at Discount Pet Meds .

The tried and true Advantage Plus is the staple in our household. It works. I haven't tried Advantage. Prevention is better than cure, unless you're into reviving the lost circus art. These sites seem to be a good start for finding flea prevention medicine:
