black specks on my white sheets but no fleas in the comb?

My cat is shedding little black specks (I have white sheets so I can see them) that look like flea poop, but when I brush her, there aren't any fleas!
I didn't ask a vet yet.
So not sure what to think.
I gave her d-earth for the second day now, I think it's half teaspoon but not sure he amount.
I think the specks are gone or less.   
Not sure how many days to do the d-earth.
Maybe the cat has a parasite but no fleas on his coat. Or small mites? I am exhausted, had to d-earth and mop all the floors, wash all my clothes in d-earth, all the sheets, pillow, everything washed!! Fun weekend eh.

This stuff is great! I took it too, for a parasite cleanse and health etc.
Tastes like clay. It is some sort of silica.
Food grade of course. Has to be a high quality brand, the fertilizer kind is toxic.

Do you give her the d-earth to eat or do you brush it over her coat? To kill the fleas you apply it topically , I don't think eating a bit of the earth will harm her.

This lady points out where to place powder.  If you keep repeating it will cause dry

spots from buildup so you must wash off product every so often, it's suggested if not here

in other vids to use a moisturizing shampoo.

I have not tried this on the cats, but I think getting a mustard container for control of useing it will make it an option.
So far I just used it for silverfish, sprinkling it at the edge of a wall where I see them, ants,... Also the whole family consumed it as a detox, Even a neighbour here uses it for detox. Just mix it into juice or a shake. [emoji]127872[/emoji] just sharing.

Has anyone ever used nutritional yeast or the UK version... Added to cat food it builds up vitamin b which fleas don't like.?

Not yet could not remember the name of the yeast to pick up ;) can be purchased

at health food store.  Read an article stating that fleas will not bother pets with this in their system...look forward to trying


thanks for sharing
