Dangers of gardening in Northeast US- I started feeling itchy and irritated on two spots on the side of my body a few days ago. Turns out two engorged ticks were doing Dracula on me. My wife got them off. A few hours later the telltale lyme circles appeared. So off to urgent care. Now I'm on full lyme protocol for 21 days. The antibiotics are making a mess of my digestive system. Other than that, all is well.

Thanks. I'm fine. I'll tell you, though. Those engorged tickets are scary looking creatures.

Oof. Ticks are one of my big fears (though so far, it's only the dog who's had to deal with them). Glad you caught them quickly -- hoping for a quick recovery.

I think I don't show them enough respect. As a kid we spent summers in what amounted to a shack in the woods. Picking off ticks was routine, but no one even thought about diseases.

Thanks. It's pretty common around these parts. The worst part is the antibiotics. Nausea.

Had a couple of run ins as well…. Goes undiagnosed for a lot of people so best to get on the antibiotics.

Yep. I had a dog get it about 10 years ago. Undetected for a while until he got very lethargic. Even for him the antibiotics prevented any long term problems.

I have seen at least two people get very sick over the long term. Courtesy of herds of deer dropping ticks as they wander about apparently.

My wife had an undiagnosed case. She also has MS, so the symptoms might have been masked

Yeah - I have heard similar with other long term illness masking it

Hey, I have gone down the late 60s/early 70s westerns path. I loved those movies as a kid. Watched Jeremiah Johnson. The casual violence and death kind of surprised me. Also the spaghetti westerns. I watched Once Upon A Time In The West.
