interesting on the advantix... I know my wife recommends it at work although she tries to buy everything organic/natural for home. I know she recommends avoiding touching the animal for some period of time after applying. I also would think the way permethrin becomes a threat to bees is applications outside the home, not directly applied to the pet. I am guessing it is a question of the efficacy of the alternatives and the risks of tick born diseases, which are not limited to lyme disease. It does seem nasty... I'll ask her and add it to the thread later. I do know one area she is pretty adamant is to get a food that has been tested for nutrition by a particular method which most of the natural foods are not. Again, I'll ask and get back...
