I got a half dozen ticks attached to me and more on the dog. This in northern Georgia. In a brochure, the state of Georgia says, " we have Lyme disease but we are not as bad as Massachusetts." I and the dog were tested and both negative.
I worry a bit about tick paralysis here in the Rockies. We have had two dogs which collapsed with it. They recovered at just about the rate they went down, once the tick was removed. If it happened to a person and they couldn't remove the tick, they would simply quit breathing after a while. Not a great way to go, IMO. GD
