Fairfield County Deer Tick Solution - Get Bambi
From Newsday.com:
A coalition of several Fairfield County towns and cities is proposing a reduction in the deer population as the only sure way to reduce the number of cases of Lyme disease.
With the news about mice being the big carriers, they may be planning to hunt the wrong four legged critter. However, I’m sure that overcrowded deer populations do account for at least part of the Lyme disease problem. If they don’t have enough food in the wild, they are more likely to go into people’s gardens to forage and can very easily leave behind infected ticks.
