[dba-Tech] Lime Disease

[Ed Tesiny]

Mine was a rather quick response.  While residing upstate I was on the
Bethlehem Committee on Deer and Ticks, a serious issue upstate.  Lyme can
be easily treated with docycycline (sp?) The ticks can also transmit other
diseases that are not easily treated.  Basically a tick has a 2 year life
span.  For the most part during the first year they don't have Lyme in
their system.  They easily survive even harsh  winters because they have a
sort of built in antifreeze in their system.  Once mature they climb plants
usually about 16 ins. tall and they hang on with two legs.  Pass by and
they grab onto you and you often don't know it. Small ticks can be the size
of a fleck of pepper, so hard to detect.  Sorry, TMI.
