Woman removes 85 ticks from her dog!

I wonder if the tick detector works. There will be a need for products like this if Lyme Disease keeps spreading. I am sure this is going to be the first of many products. If there is a market people will come up with products.

If it works quickly it would make life easier for people with a number of dogs.
Do other animals have problems with ticks. What about sheep and cows?

So I looked it up.

Lyme disease is a more involved problem than I thought. In some places farmers will have to check their animals.
Working farm dogs would be at higher risk and would need to be checked. Humans working with farm animals would have to be careful. If I am understanding the article ticks from a dead farm animal could transfer to a human or dog and transmit Lyme Disease.

As it becomes more common we will need to develop strategies to deal with it. In the mean time a tick detector might be a good thing.
