Question: Did You Know That Its Lyme Disease Awareness Month!?
Answers:
I know OUR governor here in NH declared May 'Lyme Awareness Month' last Friday afternoon, at the Capital building!.
Good Thing, as there is still a serious lack of knowledge of the risks of the likelyhood of contracting this disease by allowing infected deer ticks to beome engorged on the body!
I found 2 tiny ticks on my lower 1/2 early one morning!. I got 'em both off, though 1 was 1/3 "dove in" (a tough removal)!.
I had no immediate symptoms, NO rash & yet my thyroid was WHACKED 4 weeks later and I started suffering serious rib pain 4 MONTHS later!. It took me 1 month & 3 docs to get diagnosed (I was LUCKY!) Then 8 months & $20,000!.00 in medical costs & lost income (I couldn't work) to get better!!!
'TICK CHECK' every time you or a child comes in from the woods, esp during peak tick times (rainy May & June days) AND a tick check before bed!. ;) A couple hours on ya & not much of a risk!. All day/Overnight deer tick "visits" & you'd better get to the doc's (pref WITH the tick) for FOUR weeks of doxy or amoxy!. This is NOT a disease to say, "Ahh, heck!.!.!.1 tiny tick & I got it off O!.K!."! A bull's eye develops only 40-50% of the time!. >50% of deer ticks are Lyme+ in So!. NH/ coastal New England down thru New York all the way to VA!.!.!.!.!.!.DON'T TAKE CHANCES!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I would be very careful about giving the lyme disease vaccination to any dog!. Unfortunately there are a good amount of dogs that have a horrible and fatal effect from the vaccine!. My dog ended up having to stay in the hospital for two weeks and taking some very powerful drugs!. So unless you are taking your dog into the woods!.!.oh sorry can people get this too lol!.!.!.but anyways be careful about giving the vaccine to the dogsWww@Answer-Health@Com
