Dícese of the flea of a parasitic present in the man and other animals of hot blood that was originally parasitic of the fox. Of there, of the fox, the flea that occupies to us impregnated of its cleverness and its speed. The common flea as soon as it surpasses the three millimeters in length. The Argentine flea does not emphasize either by its spread, although with a ball in the feet it becomes greatest, in quickest, most unforseeable, an authentic "devil" as it baptized the ex- trainer to him of Madrid Fabio Capello.
