   YEp, we use your vinegar regimen for the fleas, and this   
   stuff is for livestock, mainly swine which also are subject   
   to hw I'm told.  Vet says it's as effective as other   
   products, about 1/2 cc per month, injected.  As vet noted   
   though, company won't back it if dog gets hw.

   WE're lucky, don't have those.
