A new tick-borne virus has been discovered in people. Be sure that your pet is protected from ticks: remember that not only can they get these diseases, but they can carry the ticks in the house…….I HATE TICKS! http://vitals.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/08/29/13532240-new-tick-borne-virus-puts-the-bite-on-missouri-farmers?lite Use your Frontline! If you have questions about tick prevention – please ask. Remember, ticks carry Lyme Disease and Anaplasmosis (in addition to several other diseases). This tick was found attached to a patient’s tongue (thanks for the update Minnesota Spay and Neuter Program). http://www.medpagetoday.com/InfectiousDisease/GeneralInfectiousDisease/33337 http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2012/05/30/deer-tick-season-arrives-early/ |
