Ticks Please read
Do whatever you can to protect yourselves and your families. Tick checks must be a part of our outdoor lives. Lyme and the three other tick borne diseases are no joke!
Our luck ran out this past week as my 22 year old daughter has been hospitalized since Sunday night, when she spiked a 103.5 degree fever. It has been hell to watch your child go through something like this. Took a few days to diagnose, during which she endured a spinal tap to rule out meningitis and encephalitis. Never saw a tick or a bite. But she has Lyme, and may have more of those other diseases tick carry. We won't know for another week. She has turned a corner and is much improved this evening. Antibiotics are working. But she was very sick and it scared the hell out of me.
So please implement a plan for you and your family...... checks, spray, appropriate clothing, and being aware.
