Tick Bite

[Fly Rod]

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.

Good thing you caught it early. I had an employee whom ignored a tick bite least year and developed belspalsie (spelling?) the dr. thought he had a stroke and spent 2 weeks in the hospital misdiagnosed then took 2 months to recover to full strength. Ive been told its easily missed in lab tests.

I had the walk in pull one out of my back 2 weeks ago. It was in the same exact location I had one pulled from earlier this year (weird) After seeing this post I checked again and no bulls eye (thank god). From what I have been told the testing is real tough. GL the meds should work fine saying you caught it quick.
