Player #3324215
the explanation doesn't give much information. I would like to know symptoms, how\where it manifests. how it effects sufferers and if it can be contracted by other animals... are deer effected?

The first case of Lyme disease was diagnosed in Lyme, Connecticut thus giving it's name.

Player #3324215, deer ticks carry Lyme bacteria. Dogs are suseptible (sp?); vaccination is available for dogs, not humans. Check out Johns Hopkins hospital website for information. Host ticks bite and transfer bacteria thru saliva. If tick removed w/in 24 hrs, supposedly transfer is greatly reduced. Antibiotic Treatment soon after bite can eliminate. If undiagnosed & Untreated, long term effects are prolific. East coast US is very affected, Midwest also. Check US NIA or seach for affected areas.

Opossums are a great way to keep the tick population to a minimum. They eat thousands everyday. So, if you see a possum, make sure you don’t disturb them. They are good to have around!

Everyone should read about Operation Paperclip to learn about how Lyme disease got started.

I just down loaded this game and I am already hooked I even gave it a five star rating, the person that came up with this idea is a genius

Player Vick, My mother has it and it's terrible. It's worth it to research, how to avoid it and what to do if bitten. If you can diagnose quickly by testing the tick- chances of recovery are strong.

I contracted Lyme last summer. Started with awful flu like symptoms and got worse. after 4 days of being ill, I noticed I had a large bullseye on my calf. Went straight to the doctor and immediately started me on Doxycycline. Thankfully I caught it early and am fully recovered. Don't think it can never happen to you, I did because I rarely ever go outside. Just a few seconds is all it takes....

Whenever I went exploring in the woods my mom would check for ticks

There are many more tick-borne diseases. New ones are brought into the country from time to time.

Wavy Combover, Yep, according to what I read, each possum eats about 5000 ticks in their lifetimes.

Bridget Downey, So sorry to hear Bridget. I think all of us are: the "thumbs up" in your support and thumbs down as a sign of sadness. (In situations like this, it is confusing whether to select 👍🏻 or 👎🏻 as the appropriate sign of condolence.) In any event, may you find much comfort in good memories. ❤️

Cat Mom
Player #20201266, yes, there are lots of comments about how great this game is but there are also a lot of complaints about how the questions are (or seem to be) mostly USA themed
Cat Mom
Wavy Combover, are you kidding me?! I live in the (semi) country & have to deal with ticks every year! But actually we've had fewer this year & I have more raccoons but there are opossums around & now I won't run them off even if they're eating all of my cat food!
Cat Mom
Hahahanky, thank you
Cat Mom
Bridget Downey, oh my, so sorry!
