I got it in Montauk last fall. Ended up in the ER. Took the malaria type drug to kick it out of me. Had to have my blood analyzed daily for a week until all my blood function indicators returned to normal. Got deathly ill until my body and the drugs fought it off. Will be in Montauk for two months of daily fishing again this fall. Will be using repellent regularly. Get help immediately if you come down with high fever/heavy sweating/freezing-at-night shaking chills.
