Yep, this is how I too read Jodi's comment. She was merely stating that she does not have a flea problem.

I do agree that saying to someone "are you NUTS?" is a little...well...abrupt and potentially rude, depending on context and intention. I'm glad the poster who said it came back and recognized that it probably wasn't quite the right thing to say.
