[Everything doTERRA] Re: Remedy for cat with fleas?

we use the diatomaceous earth at work for keeping bugs out of the chicken coops and it works awesome! also have talked with a lot of people that use it for fleas and worms with great success, I'd give it a try. I am thinking about getting some for the house for newly found silverfish issues. ugh.

I have heard good things about Diatomaceous Earth for fleas and worm problems.  It is an all natural product, mostly used by farmers to keep bugs out of their crops.  But animals and people can even eat it!  I use it on my cats occasionally for minor flea problems (sprinkle it on them), and have used it in the carpets.  Here is the website I got it from: http://www.earthworkshealth.com/.  I would be very careful about using the oils on cats.  I would love to find an oil for fleas/worms, but I'm nervous about trying anything.

I have a good one ... my daughter emailed me asking about oils for
cats last night.  Seems her cat got off her husband's lap and there
were worm eggs in his lap ... checked and sure enough, some around the
cat's anus too.  I'm at a loss other than to take it to the vet!  Any
one have any oil solutions or suggestions?

Thanks, Debbie
