I had Babeseois way back in the early 90s , spent a week in the hospital, had to have an IV port with treatment for 90 days. A 105 fever in the hospital, literally slept in a fetal position for 72 hours. 2 kids died from tick bites that weekend I was admitted at South County hospital. My coworker was given last rites until a Doctor correctly diagnosed Babesiosis. I am not surprised the Doctor said he had never seen it in the USA. There was a major suppression of Lyme by the CDC and AMA. Many Doctors were ostracized in the 90s .
Its possible. They can have ticks on the fur but they won't bite. We are extra careful because 2 of our dogs are allergic to the Lyme preventative shot. My yard being fenced in helps as other critters like deer can't come prancing in. I know tics hide in leaf matter but I do wonder if the lack of snow this year was in our favor. Next door neighbor has Guinea hens too and that's gotta help some.
Tics are out basically year round. They like snow cover and will appear as soon as open spots appear. Always always check if in the woods. His dog probably brought it in the house

I am so sad for my fellow skiers who love spring skiing and the thumpers and warm sun with corn snow it brings. My heart goes out to all the employees and owners too. Thanks for thinking of me. Enjoy your skin ups or are you able to hitch a snow cat up?
