I would also like to add that while checking yourself, spouse or who ever make sure you do not over look the belly button area.
From personal experience I can tell you that it is easy to miss them inside there. I found one on myself in that spot that had been there way too long. Still not sure whether I got lyme or just a nasty infection but either way it wasn't pretty 
It really is scary what you can pick up fishing between the ticks and the skeeters!
Be careful out there |

Lymes disease continues to be an extremely contraversal disease. Despite the current recommendations, there are physicains ( thank Goodness) that will continue to treat with antibiotics after the recommended time period, if the patient continues to show physical signs of the diease.
Has anyone else heard the rumor that this was a biological manmade disease that basically made its way from Plum Island??

I've heard it. I don't buy it. You'd think that if they were brewing up some biological weapon-grade bug out there, they'd come up with something more insidious--and less treatable--than Lyme. |

It was first discovered in europe. 1800's I believe. They called it sheep fever. no lie. I WISH I didn't know this much about the disease (My wife has had it for 3 years...) |

Yankee Magazine recently had a great article that went into depth on Lyme. They also probed the angle that it cam from the Government labs on Plum Island which might explain why Lyme, CT was really the epicenter for this stuff. |
