The message may be a little corny,
but nonetheless very important!!
It’s flea and tick season, and Lake Town Animal Hospital cannot overemphasize
the importance of preventative care.
The ticks that carry Lyme disease are becoming more and more prevalent in
the south, and South Carolina is now
classified as a moderate risk state.
Lyme disease in dogs can be very subtle, and while the infection is not directly transmitted to humans, dogs can carry infected ticks to their owners.
|
|
They can assess your dog’s risk factors and need for the Lyme vaccine, and can recommend the best preventative to protect them from disease-carrying ectoparasites.
Call them today!

NATIONAL HOLE IN MY BUCKET DAY
|
|
May 30, of each year, National Hole in My Bucket Day is observed. This wacky holiday is in honor of the fun children’s song; There’s a Hole in My Bucket.
The song which has origins in 1700 Germany, is about a back and forth conversation between Henry and Liza. Henry needs to fix his leaky bucket. In each stanza, Henry asks Liza for advice. In the end, he needs a bucket to carry water to repair his bucket.

|
National Mint Julep Day is observed annually on May 30. Each year, people around the country gather for a glass of mint julep! This refreshing southern classic is a traditional drink of the Kentucky Derby.
A classic mint julep is made with a mint leaf, bourbon, sugar and water.
In the Southern states, where mint julep is more associated with the cuisine, spearmint is the mint of choice.
|
|
Preparation of the drink may vary from one bartender to another.
- It is believed that the mint julep originated in the southern United States sometime during the 18th century.
- The term “julep” is generally defined as a sweet drink, particularly one used as a vehicle for medicine.
- During the 19th century, Americans also enjoyed a gin-based julep.
- Each year almost 120,000 mint juleps are served at Churchill Downs over the two-day period of the Kentucky Oaks and the Kentucky Derby.
- May 2008 – Churchill Downs unveiled the world’s largest mint julep glass (6-foot tall).

Loomis Day is observed annually across the nation on May 30th.
Washington, DC dentist, Mahlon Loomis, received US patent number 129,971
titled “An Improvement in Telegraphing” on wireless telegraphy in July of 1872.
Born on July 21, 1826, Mahlon Loomis
was a dentist, the inventor of artificial teeth and one of the earliest inventors of
wireless communication.
|
|
Loomis died on October 13, 1886.
Leading up to his patent, Loomis conducted many experiments in electricity using kites flying miles apart in the mountains of Virginia.
Then in 1868 before several scientists and Congressmen, he demonstrated his wireless telegraphic system.
While he couldn’t explain how he was able to produce the transmission, he appealed to Congress for an appropriation to incorporate the Loomis Aerial Telegraph Company for research.
Senator Charles Sumner introduced the bill, and on May 30 in 1872, the Committee on Commerce reported poorly on the measure. Stripped of its appropriations, it eventually passed in 1873 strictly as a bill of incorporation.

WORLD MULTIPLE
SCLEROSIS DAY
|
World Multiple Sclerosis Day on May 30th creates an opportunity to boost awareness and connect those with MS to resources and improve support systems.
As one of the most common diseases of the central nervous system, Multiple Sclerosis impacts more than 2.3 million people around the world according to the Multiple Sclerosis International Federation.
|
|
The term multiple sclerosis means “many scars,” and this term relates to the areas that appear on the brain and spinal cord after the myelin covering our nerves is damaged or dies.
The damaged myelin leaves a lesion behind. These lesions are identified by an MRI when symptoms begin to appeal.
The resulting symptoms vary and progress at different rates for each person diagnosed with MS.
The disease is unpredictable, progressive and challenging to diagnose.
The cause is also unknown.
While there is no cure, treatments are advancing to help slow the progression of MS and reduce the symptoms.
As with many conditions, education, research, and funding are necessary.
