The start of spring with April reminds us of heartworm disease and of course tick-borne diseases such as Lyme disease. Borrelia burgdorferi is the disease transmitted by deer ticks that cause Borreliosis (Lyme disease). A lot of fancy words, can you keep up? Tick-borne disease is not commonly talked about here in Brookings, South Dakota however it is prevalent in the area. Minnesota is a high-risk area and a close neighbor to us. If your pet is traveling to Minnesota, hunting, or in a heavily wooded area we highly recommend awareness about the tick-borne disease.
