RE: Ozark Seed Bank & Free Seed Giveaway!

in #gardening7 years ago (edited)

We also live in the Ozarks, and when we moved here, we were shocked by the number of ticks. At first, we, too, were concerned about the number of ticks. And then I did a bit more research about the unequal spread of Lyme disease. To make this map, they tested dogs for antibodies to the Lyme disease microbe. This map shows the percentage of dogs who tested positive for these antibodies (and so where you have a high risk of getting it from a tick). To our surprise, our area had a 0% rate. This map might help you rest a bit better if you are in the Ozarks. :)

Oh, and I love it that there is such a cool seed saving place here in the Ozarks. :)
