Lyme Disease Warning

2005.05.31

We've recently received the following warning from a neighbor on Point Road.

Just an FYI, maybe others need to know -- We live on Point Road and our dog has just been diagnosed with Lyme disease. He went from normal to totally incapacitated in two days. Our house backs up to some woods and the creek and we have noticed deer a few times before. Owners of dogs and parents of children playing around that area should be aware when they come inside.

Thank you for the heads-up! Here are some links for additional information on Lyme disease.
