There is a FIERCE bloom of Ixodes sp. (deer ticks) due to the rains & greenery in Baja California Sur right now. The nymph stages of this three-stage
tick infest dogs and cats by the THOUSANDS. They are smaller than a dot of pepper, suck blood for 3-6 days, and drop off unseen. They carry several
diseases. Protect your pets with Frontline or Advantix. Don't forget! Also Intercepter or HeartguardPlus for heartworms, etc. Dogs are in special
exposure and jeopardy right now, so please stay informed. Marla Daily
