Flea Additional Info

Dialogue When Caught

I caught a flea! The curse is lifted.

Dialogue When Donated to Blathers

  Allow me to be blunt. The flea is foul! It is also digusting, repugnant, and vile! Hoo! But I digress...

 This horrid pest sucks the blood of humans and animals. In fact, it is the flea's own saliva that makes us itch!

 And did you know their legs are so strong, they can jump 50 times their body length?

 So you see, it's all too easy for a flea to jump from you to me! I itch at the very thought.
