Old statistic but relevant, probably worse now...."....The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) reminds consumers to practice safety and common sense when working in their yards and gardens this summer. About 230,000 people each year are treated in hospital emergency rooms for injuries relating to various lawn and garden tools.
Each year, about 75 people are killed and about 20,000 are injured on or near riding lawnmowers and garden tractors. One out of every five deaths involves a child. CPSC estimates that most of the deaths to children occurred when a child was in the path of a moving mower...."

Dan,
I am no expert by any means but I think they feast on something or someone until they are full, then let go and hang out in a branch or a bush or tree or tall grass and when empty, try to fall on a new host. We generally put the granules inside the dog fence, on the yard, for fleas. I would say your percentage of picking one up in your mowed yard would be small.

Now get the neighborhood to agree and I am set! Bad enough we have 12 little bastards running around my yard and leaving shoes and toys in the grass for me to find while walking barefoot! #*#*^*#&=£÷&!,
