...idle thought whilst I try and re-engage my brain in proper work stuff.....
I'm currently treating my 2 dogs with Nexgard; given the potential impact of Lyme Disease, increasing awareness of tick presence and (possibly? Discuss...) an increasing tick burden due to changes to both climate and farming practises, wouldn't a human equivalent of the 'once a month tablet' be a surefire winner? Stalkers would clear the shelves I'm sure....and I'm not just thinking this 'cos the chewy beefy chunk that is Nexgard looks appetising....
Serious question though; obviously dogs aren't humans, and humans aren't dogs - I'll open that door up for the obvious cheap gags about Friday nights in the town of your choice .....but does anyone know if any work is being done on a human 'preventative' measure, rather than the reactive scan/remove regime? Not that one would or should replace the other, but just thinking aloud about another layer of protection and assurance....(perhaps I should just get on with what I'm supposed to be doing......)
Any boffins fancy getting themselves on Dragons Den? We can discuss my royalties for a wizard idea in due course....
(And just so there is no confusion: I'm not suggesting, recommending or advocating that anyone eats Nexgard in the name of 'finding out if it works on humans'.... )
