Lyme disease isn't the only thing a deer tick carries. Last summer, my wife was introduced to something called "babesiosis". The symptoms are malarial--high fever with alternating sweats and chills. The doctors at Cape Cod Hospital told her they see at least 3 new cases every week.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
