Re: [at-l] Lyme Disease
Lyme disease is limited to the deer tick, but you should remain concerned.
I would look at where and how she plays, and means to reduce risk of
getting a tick. While Lyme disease is a problem, where you live I'd be much
more worried with Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever - much more lethal and nasty.
Look at WildBill's tick sites for excellent information and advice.
