In Connecticut Lyme Disease is a big problem. It is primarily a bacteria transmitted from a deer tick that makes people very sick, especially if it is not detected in the early stages. It is not uncommon for children to end up in the hospital with spinal meningitis from this disease. Even though we take every preventative measure we can my husband and two of the three dog's we have owned have gotten it. I was trying to google it to see if tortoises can get it and there were not any cases listed. But, I did find an article about tortoises being imported from Africa and having African tics on them. That worries me because I was hoping that maybe the tortoises skin would be too tough for the tic to bite.
Does anyone know anything about this?
