If you look at post 61, there is a professor in California who was trying to get volunteers to send him eggs from hens treated with frontline. I sent him two months of eggs to see if we can get it figured out. Hopefully others have participated and he can give us some data at some point. I doubt he'll publish, but his scientific method appeared to be first rate so I would trust his results even if its not in a journal.Until there is a published study no one can say its not absorbed into the bloodstream just because other people are "fine" doesn't men there won't be effects down the line or that someone else won't react badly. My husband is HIGHLY allergenic to it and will even have severe asthma attack if around animals that have frontline on them. My aunts dog licked him, his hand swolle up and his face got puffy, we went to help her a week later and the dog shook itself in the room and he had to get his inhaler. It only caused my hands to itch a little but nothing serious, so you should be careful with that stuff and make sure no one eating the eggs is allergenic to it. Personally I wouldn't eat them for at least a month or more because if its in the bloodstream it probably is in the eggs in very small trace amounts.
I think perimeter spraying is critical to control pests, I had great luck with Permethrin diluted in to a tank sprayer. Do remember its toxic to cats and aquatic life.We are going to use Permethrin concentrate... recommended from a sales clerk..... used on beef and dairy cattle, horses, sheep, goats, swine, "POULTRY AND THEIR PREMISES" use one dogs and kennels..... also works for all household lil boogers too! flies, spiders, bed bugs the list goes on!! ticks, fleas...... the amount of spray we will get from our one quart concentrate serioulsy out weighs a little tube of "flea n tick" stuff you get in the stores . How will this affect the eggs? I would like to know.....
