Babesia is an ancient cattle disease. It is found in livestock, wildlife, humans, and pets around the world. The first case in the U.S. was a man in the San Francisco Bay area in 1967. So the CDC has known about it for 55 yrs but didn't do anything about it. The first case of Lyme was in Wisconsin in 1969. A Dermatologist diagnosed the bullseye rash on a grouse hunter. The CDC didn't do anything about it. Lyme is Borrelia. All Ticks and their diseases are ancient.
Thank you for all that you do, Dads! Happy Father’s Day from the Alliance. 💚🥳

The American dog tick has a broad distribution east of the Rocky Mountains, throughout the East and Gulf Coast, along the Pacific Coast, into Canada and parts of Alaska.
This tick is the primary vector of the bacteria that cause Rocky Mountain spotted fever ((Rickettsia rickettsii)). It is also known to transmit Tularemia (Francisella tularensis), Ehrlichia, Anaplasma, and tick paralysis.
