Natural Resources Defense Council analysis reveals that some pet flea collars can create toxic chemical residues on pet fur that threaten human health.
“In new scientific analysis also released today, NRDC found high levels of propoxur and tetrachlorvinphos (TCVP), another carcinogenic neurotoxin common in household pet products, on pet fur after use of ordinary flea collars. NRDC is also petitioning the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), calling for the removal of these chemicals from pet products.”
Their Green Paws website has guides on what to avoid.

Avoiding chemical products is good for all..
Natural things don’t give more side effects compared to chemical products. Flea marketers should reduce the chemicals in their products. If it is so, all will be happy…..

There are also some natural herbal pet flea collars. They are much safer but no so effective.
