Since birds, deer, etc. can carry these ticks for miles, not to mention they can travel in suitcases, etc. soon they will be everywhere. Here is a updated site... Canine Lyme Disease http://www.lymeinfo.ca/lymedisease-geographicdistribution.aspx Theresa -------------------------------------------- On Mon, 5/19/14, Carolyn Martello <marhaven@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Subject: Re: Ticks or any other challege To: scenecrest.geo@xxxxxxxxx, kathy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "'showgsd'" <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Monday, May 19, 2014, 3:21 PM Apparently this site is way behind on information regarding Lyme disease and Ehrlichiosis as both are a SERIOUS problem out here in Northern California. In fact the we lost Boss... G.V. CH.Mar Haven's Color Guard because we could not get him over the ehrlichiosis after over three years on Doxycycline. Lymes is a serious common problem in Northern California with people and with dogs. We know several people that have had serious cases of it...and have seen it a lot in dogs. Problem is.... the test for Lymes with people AND dogs will give you a false negative result. You must run a three way test for Lymes disease, Ehrlichiosis and Rocky Mt. Spotted Fever to get correct result for Lymes. ( a 'ticksology' test ) The Drs. are learning that out here when they test people. WE learned that with Color Guard...as we had run three separate Lymes tests over a span of 2 yrs....all NEGATIVE. Yet I was sure he had it as we had seen it a lot with other dogs AND people in the area by then. When we finally took the advice of an East Coast breeder that had experienced it....we ran the 3-way test and it came back positive for Lyme AND Ehrlichiosis! If you are where there are deer....you need to be concerned about Lyme disease in the West. The map should have a lot more yellow...<G> Carolyn marhaven@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx www.marhaven.com (Redacted sender "scenecrest.geo@xxxxxxxxx" for DMARC) Subject: Re: Dangerous Snakes vs. Ticks or any other challege Geographic Distribution of Ticks and diseases http://www.cdc.gov/ticks/geographic_distribution.html Theresa ===========================================================================POST is Copyrighted 2014.
