Put Some in Your ‘Cocker-nut’ and Shake It All Up
Lyme disease…most people know that it is a disease caused by ticks. You may know that people get a bull’s eyes lesion at the site of the bite. To be a risk you have to live on the East coast of the U.S. and you have to go trekking through the woods in order to be exposed…well 2 out of 3 isn’t bad but it could be an extremely serious short fall in your understanding of this spreading disease.
To clear up some misconceptions and enlighten us on new research is Dr. Craig Prior, the immediate past-president of the Companion Animal Parasite Council…an organization whose information I use on an almost daily basis in my practice.
