Just as an FYI--Lyme, and also babesiosis and erlichiosis, the other "gifts" from deer ticks, are not contagious. Humans can't pass them on to another human. We are what's called an "end host". They can only be transmitted by a tick bite.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
