This is a HUGE topic when we get visitors from the "burbs" at our nature center. "Are there ticks?!" is a question we ALWAYS get. We've had parents refuse to allow their children to participate in group hikes because of the possibility of the child getting a tick on them. It's a topic that might actually deserve a home on the Scared Inside board.

Mr. Haze, Some good info can be found from Rady Children's Hospital at http://www.chsd.org/blank.cfm?id=685 and many, many other sites.

Speacock is right. Prayers certainly won't hurt, but medical help ASAP is the way to reduce long term effects. I would try to find a doctor that has worked with the disease before. You may be better off with a country doctor rather than a big hospital's emergency phys. when it comes to things like this.

Best wishes to your brother for a speedy recovery. Please keep us posted.
