Cute? Perhaps, but they are a breeding ground for all kinds of infectious agents, including Hanta virus, Lyme disease, and other tick-bourne diseases like anaplasmosis and babesiosis.[/td]

Hi

A splendid image of this wee fellow - and regarding being a breeding ground, well that could be said about all life really


All the best
Matthew
