Wonderful info on ticks and guineas. I'm gonna facebook share this post to my patient support group. I'm a homeopath and I deal with SO many cases of Lyme disease [in all stages]. It's tick season right now and this is one way some of those folks can think to decrease the numbers of ticks on their homesteads. Right now I recommend them a dose of ledum 30c weekly for each member of the family and domestic animals as a preventative. :-)
I don't really believe in homeoprophylaxis [I can't work out how that would work, but my mind is open if someone wants to come up with a logical mechanism], but I think this weekly dose acts by treating Lyme in its very early stages. I've had two daughters [of my 4] with Lyme. http://sallylloydhomeopathy.com/homeopathic-ledum-as-first-aid-treatment-for-lyme-borreliosis-disease/ tells our story with Lyme and a little more about how to use Ledum. xx
