And there is the lesser known Alpha-gal syndrome.
If we get some warmer weather mid winter our dogs have picked up ticks in our pastures. A few of our dogs have had Lyme. We are ~50miles NNW of the DC Mall. On my commute towards DC I see license plates from PA, WV, and VA (occasionally DE) heading south on I270 from Frederick MD. Traffic in the region is heavy; “rush hour” from the north has started by 5am.
Do you vaccinate your dogs against Lyme? Just wondered. Since I spend some time in Virginia with our daughter/family camping, I decided to vaccinate Brendon. Daughter lost a dog to Lyme so now she vaccinates as well. The lyme affected his kidney, of which he only had one and killed him rather quickly.
