Question:
Do they KNOW a guestimate % of how many of those tiny ticks carry Lyme disease?
We found one those little bastards on our outdoor cat :-(
and anyway, since I do a LOT of gardening, am now kinda worried .....
anyway at the moment am on anti-biotics, due to a recent root canal.
Ugh, hope nothing weird happens/as I believe I read that lyme ticks are mostly out during the beginning of springtime.
hmmmm we just bought tick spray :o) hope that REALLY works!!
Answers:
Don't really know what percentage of ticks carry lyme disease but they are limited to certain areas of the country so if you live outside of those areas, you have little to worry about. Only about 10% of tick bites (from ticks that actually carry the disease) will transmit the spirochete (bacteria) that is responsible for the illness.
