You go, not a lot.

A lot of things.

A lot of things.

Yeah.

Just had a little sort of thing on the farm, actually.

My girlfriend's got a...

a Papillon dog, which is a beautiful dog, sort of long-haired, and it got a paralysis tick.

And she realized that between her and this other girl that looks after the puppy when we're not there, they'd got their dates mixed up, and so it wasn't actually covered for flea and tick, you know, stuff in its bloodstream.

So very dangerous.

So they had to shave the dog completely and everything.

They pulled off another couple of ticks, but there was only just the one paralysis tick, so it's okay.

But if you leave that and if you don't deal with it, the dog's going to be dead in a minute.

Yeah.

It gets into their body and it affects them the way the name says on the box.

So we have ticks in Australia, but we've never had to deal with Lyme disease like you have here.

But in the last four or five decades, people started raising ticks.

deer in Australia for meat and what have you.

And a few of them get away.

There's no deer farms around where I am, which is north of Sydney by 600 Ks.

But recently, a couple of the guys who work for me on the farm said they've seen deer going through the bush at the back of my block.
