livestock and vermin?
« on: March 16, 2012, 12:49:45 pm »
I noticed fleas, in my turkey pen.
Would that be just a random act of the RNG, or did Toady add livestock-specific vermin to the game to spawn near our animals?

Cannot seem to locate fleas in the raws.  Using mods?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Lice are VERMIN_SOIL, and turkey have the ability to pluck bugs out of the dirt and eat them.  Chances are you had a turkey pluck multiple lice out but didn't eat them all.  Or they just root around in the dirt and happened to come up near your turkey, probably attracted by the eggs.

Curiously, a dwarf can like lice for their ability to infest...

Have them killed. Nothing solves a problem quite as effectively as simply having it killed.

Thank you everyone for the help! I've since flooded the fortress I was working on and now have a new one going up.
