Actually I've heard of this. I won't use flea collars. My parents and a friend of mine both had flea problems and they got shampoos approved by their vets and cleaned everything they could. They left the flea collars alone. I'm personally mildly allergic to them. They've also found that many pets can be allergic. That's where I think I heard the siezures and such come from - allergic reactions. They still sell seafood in restaurants or tree nuts in grocery stores even though both of those things have killed people. If they can prove that it was an allergic reaction then all they have to do is put a disclaimer on the package saying "May cause allergic reactions in some pets." and they're in the clear. There are so many less toxic ways of getting rid of pests or paracites. Just remember if it's strong enough to kill a bug then in larger doses it could kill something larger. My parakeet died from pesticides that still happened to be on the celery leaves. The vet then told me that kind of thing was fairly common.
