Hanco,

Thanks for your response.

Am not surprised the rate can be higher in East Texas. Have hunted them there as well, and it's definitely a much moister climate, which can result in a higher rate of infection.

But would also re-mention that far more animals (including not just wild game but domestic animals) can carry far more diseases than we want to hear about!
