I could have gotten the tick at the Canal or anywhere else I've been. It's really hard to say. My yard is infested with the friggin things, my neighbor was diagnosed with Lyme like 12 days before I was! I was at the Canal a lot over the past month (naturally) not because the fishing was good
I just like to practice casting on the off tides. Hope you feel better man. I felt a lot better after 4 doses of Doxy.
