A friend of mine thinks that dog ticks don't carry lyme cuz wherever he researched it the reports stated this...they also stated that

Only last week did "they" discover rocky mountain spotted fever in ticks.....

I tried using our search but it's not working for me....

anyone have some urls this kid can get useful info.....

He dogsat his parents dog from lakeland florida and it was tick infested...he's already seeing dr C down here cuz he has lyme....

But he's not too worried about his parents dog because of the missinfo he's been given........thanks in advance.......zman
