Tick Bite

[missing link]

Well I got a tick bite 12 days ago ,pulled the little SOB out and watched it and yes it after 12 days a Bulls Eye called the Doc.
Had my blood work for other symptoms and positive for lyme.
I'm on a 21 day antibiotic thingamajig , feeling kind of tired and achy
I'm glad I didn't disregard the bite and caught it early
So all who frequent the woods and to all whose children play in the leaves CHECK YOURSELFS

I hope the meds work o.k. for you. Get well quickly

I remember one day on Block Island a few years ago where I caught three deer ticks on me.

Growing up in Iowa I didn't hear much about Lyme, looking at this map I now see why...



Best of luck with the meds.

I have had hundreds of Ticks on me the last few years. Knock on wood I have caught them all or most on my clothes. Worst was last spring, both the wife and I and the kids all had dozens. They freak me out.

Best of luck Link with your meds. You caught it early so be optimistic about recovery and diminished long term affects.

Cape Ann is a heaverly infested area. It is basically the reason for me to give up hunting in Mass. I repeatedly remind my grand children to check for ticks every day. Their property abutts the woods where there is a large presents of deer. When not caught in time you can get very sick and it could be debilitating.

Yes , we are at ground zero for Lymes disease. I have a friend who had to be treated 3 times in two years.

Glad to hear you treated the infection with antibiotics early.
