Every hero needs worthy opponents. Meet the troublemakers Mrs. ParaFire helps families outsmart.

Count Flea

External Parasite

Fleas are tiny jumping insects that feed on blood, mostly on cats and dogs, and sometimes bite people.

Most of the flea life cycle happens off the pet, as eggs and larvae in bedding and carpets. Pets can also get a tapeworm by swallowing an infected flea.

Intestinal Worms

Roundworms and tapeworms live in the intestines and take a share of their host's nutrients.

Some pet roundworms shed eggs in feces that can linger in soil. People, especially young children, can be exposed through contaminated hands or dirt.

Flatworms (Flukes) 

Flukes are leaf-shaped flatworms with complex life cycles that often involve snails and water.

Some liver flukes can reach people through raw or undercooked freshwater fish, or through uncooked water plants like watercress grown in contaminated water.
