Wait, what? Check your facts before you start bad-mouthing products designed to help animals. Flea/tick collars (Google "Seresto Collar") do not ONLY protect the neck area. The material is absorbed in to the dog’s skin and blood, making their ENTIRE BODY a "war zone" against parasites. They are NOT covered in pesticides–if they were, they wouldn’t be sold on the market, and you’d be hearing WAY WAY WAY more about negative side effects. For the love of God, please do your research.

I’m pretty sure I specifically said cheap, off brand, dollar store flea treatments. Like, 100% sure that’s what it says in my post. But thank you for voicing your opinion in the rudest way possible with no regard to what was written.
