Natural Unseen Hazards
http://naturalunseenhazards.wordpress.com/
This is where wildlife professionals, hunters, campers, hikers, and other outdoor enthusiasts will find interesting information about natural unseen hazards that place them at risk. As my recently published book focused exclusively on Rabies, Tetanus (Lockjaw), Tularemia (Rabbit Fever), Brucellosis (Undulant Fever), Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, and Borrelia (Lyme Disease), posts regarding these six diseases will be limited to more recent developments and items of interest that were not included or were not available when the book was published in June of 2009. Topics will also include Chronic Wasting Disease, West Nile Virus, Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome, and other diseases of particular interest to those who work and play in the great American outdoors.
