A man from Bourbon county in the USA, in his fifties died mysteriously. It was discovered he had been bitten by a tick with an unknown virus which is now going to be called the Bourbon virus. Do not panic as far as we know it is not in French ticks. They, we know pass Lyme's disease and in pets piroplasmosis. The advice remains the same, remove ticks asap safely getting out the head, using a tick fork seems the best way to me. Seek medical advice if you get a red ring around the bite. Needless to say I hate the things.
