The new critter in my otherwise lovely apartment: Fleas. The whole building has them, I think. Perhaps the flea medicine that Emily and John gave their cats has made the fleas jump ship and feast on my ankles. Some notes about fleas: they bite you and leave tiny welts that are super itchy. they can survive for months without blood. they have a hard exoskeleton, making them impossible to crush. boy, do those critters jump! They look like flax seeds Diseases Transmitted By Fleas include: tapeworm, Murine Typhus, Plague.
I slept at Chris'last night. Tonight I clean, spray, and shudder.
