i remember reading this years ago.I'd like to start a new thread here... one that covers general Old Style living. Things your granny did or taught you. Things you once read or discovered.
to catch a flea in your bed, throw the covers back on to it to keep it in one place while you get a bar of soap and lather it up.
pull back covers and slam soap onto flea and it will stick to the soap, now drown the sucker.
i cant see any reason why this wouldn't work if you had one on your body as well.
