Ugh! In New England, ticks and poison ivy are the two great natural menaces.
Did the vet tell you about the different species of tick? The larger dog ticks don't carry lyme, while the smaller deer ticks are really worth checking for. And you also want to be on the lookout for the "bulls-eye" rash - a dramatic red ring with a pale center.
Be careful and make sure you get a course of antibiotics if you suspect you might have a bite. Lyme disease is nothing to mess with!
Yes she did. She mentioned the normal ones- deer tick, dog tick and something called a black _______. I can't recall the name right now. We have antibiotics on hand all the time and I keep looking at my hubby's back. I am on edge waiting to see if he develops symptoms. Told him, maybe go see DR just in case.
