Lyme WNY has been receiving a number of messages regarding engorged ticks being removed from both children and adults. Please save your tick and send it to 👉Ticknology.
Athough I appreciate that local doctors are sending the ticks out to be tested, they are testing for ONLY lyme. Most ticks carry many pathogens including babesia, anaplasmosis, bartonella, rocky mountain spotted fever, etc. The testing they are sending out for does not look for these! These coinfections could often be worse. Please educate yourself and feel free to email us or come to a meeting. Lymewny.com.
