    ITT: People who didn’t read the article and realize this is a vaccine they inject the ticks with and is more about proving how the disease works in the ticks gut biome than any human trials. We’ve had human vaccines for many years, but they were pulled from the market. Yet dogs can get a vaccine today.

      No dog also gets a pill every months and it makes her blood toxic to tics so we just pull dead tics off her. They die before they can regurgitate and get the dog sick.

        Both exist. The vaccine is different from the Frontline/nexgard treatments.

        They can still get a Lyme vaccine.
