	 I seem to remember one of my bio profs telling me about how
	 fleas were too stupid to tell the difference between a dog
	 and something warm, furry, with liquid (blood) in it.	So it
	 seems like if you dragged, say, an electrically heated
	 blanket around, filled with some carcinogen or acid like HCl,
	 the fleas would go for it and kill themselves for you.  Any
	 comments on if this would work?
