Here is the first paragraph of the article...According to their website, This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed so I am not sure about copying and pasting the whole thing so I included the link to the website that also has the broadcast video. The video says they have a list of products on their website that have caused problems, but I have not been able to find it yet.

Here's another site which mentions a couple of products as having caused adverse reactions: http://www.mnn.com/lifestyle/pets-animals/...ea-tick-powders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
