Hello Cyndi,

Perhaps you and the other horse owners at your place need to take more preventative measures to avoid infection.

Our horses are properly groomed every day which is essential along with looking for and removing ticks. This method works effectively as the ticks need to feed for 12-24 hours before transmitting the organism. Tick repellents can also be used and are best applied in the early part of the spring and in the autumn, because these are the periods ticks are most active.

Also mowing pasture to keep it short helps because the pasture becomes thus an inhospitable habitat for ticks. Dealing with rodent infestations will also be helpful.

So apart from homeopathy a lot can be done to prevent Lyme Disease !

Take care !

Wim
