Guest guest Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 That's very interesting, since there are some Cape Breton cases of Lyme (which aren't officially recognized) and Cape Breton is the section of NS where the puffins are. They are usually just on the little islands out in the sea around there. You can take boat excursions to see them. They are very cute. - Kate On Sep 11, 2006, at 1:59 PM, wrote: > There's an MD in my Microbial Pathogenesis class (MDs can take some > grad school courses when they do an Infect. Dis. fellowship).

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Birds do carry the Lyme tick. Gill on EUROLYME corrected me awhile ago, and supplied several abstracts. So DUH- how can Canada think Lyme is a USA problem- and how can the USA say it's a NE problem? I'd say if the climate is right (and they have a pretty wide tolerance- as long as there's moisture) then they'll be there.
