thirds Western coyote and also part
dog.” The theory is that the Eastern
coyote kills off foxes, which would
normally eat the mice and rodents
that carry the Borrelia bacteria, but
the coyotes do not prey on deer.
Therefore, there are more opportuni-
ties for disease carrying ticks to feed
and breed. Perhaps the most inter-
esting statement in the article is that,

NATURAL RESOURCES PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION
“Predators can really regulate infec-
tious disease and actually protect
us.” You can find the New York
Times article here:

lyme-disease.html.
Since many of our readers are bird
watchers, nature enthusiasts and
anglers who creep through over-
grown shrubbery, always remember
to protect yourself against Lyme Dis-
ease. Walk in the center of trails to
avoid contact with greenery, wear
long pants and long sleeved shirts
and use an insect repellant contain-
ing DEET. Don’t forget to check
your pets for ticks too!
