Ask Dr. Bob: What is Lyme Disease...

This is summer time and the biggest concern we have here in Saddle River is about the huge numbers of deer. They seem to be everywhere, causing accidents, offering themselves up as food for the new crop of coyotes, and causing disease. All deer are carriers of ticks and ticks cause several diseases, the most important one being Lyme disease. I informally took questions from our residents and those of some neighboring towns that also have deer problems.
