I'm jaded but I can't see this as bad, yet. Most surprising thing to me was admittance of sandflies danger which has been a massive threat to U.S. Soldiers.

Those bloody sandflies derailed me.

Serious bartonella infection and God knows what else from sandflies. I hate them.

Great link, droid. I'm sending it to my vet. Thanks for posting it.

obviously they don't have all information yet but I agree this isn't bad in fact it's probably really good I wonder if they'll get into diseases that go back and forth between people and dogs

when people and dogs are together I know there is a risk they will share ticks or fleas etcetera but I really wonder about bugs in saliva and urine too-can they go back and forth between us.

At any rate having this taken seriously has got to be bettrr than the way it is discounted with humans

Lyme? Its complicated. Educate yourself.

About time-

Although I have no memory of any tick bite, I am convinced I got my horrible case of Bartonella (and possibly more)

from trying to tame and handling a family of wild feral cats many years ago.
