I scan the search keywords for my website periodically to see how people are finding it, and occassionally find people hitting an article or two to find the answer to a specific question. Sometimes I’ll annotate articles to be a little more helpful, especially if the question seems to be of universal interest to my fellow nerds.

Today, I saw something search terms that inspired an entire new article, related to this previous post on flea control:

Search Terms: can i wash my cat with 20 mule team borax My Helpful Answer: NO

Still, it’s a logical question…since the borax works by shrivelling up flea larvae like salt on a slug, I’m pretty sure you don’t want to do that to your cat, but ask your vet. While you’re at it, get the Advantage or Frontline stuff. It works waaaay better at nuking fleas than anything else I’ve tried.
