What increases my risk for a hypertensive crisis? Failure to take your blood pressure medicine as directed by your doctor. Hypertension caused by pregnancy (preeclampsia, eclampsia) Thyroid disease, kidney or adrenal disease, heart disease, or stroke. Cocaine or amphetamine use. Cigarette smoking or alcohol abuse.
Fill shallow bowls of water with dish detergent. The water and dish detergent mixture is like a toxic swimming pool for fleas. When they jump into the mixture, they die. Place the water and detergent mixture in a very shallow bowl, low enough to the ground so that the fleas accidentally hop into it. An old frisbee does the job quite well.
You can also put a few drops in their water. Vacuum daily!! To kill fleas in the vacuum add baking soda to the bag or canister, the fine particles of the powder adhere to the fleas fur which then dehydrates them and kills them. You can also sprinkle it on rugs and bedding.
