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.
Get well soon, we need you here at SN 😉
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.
Get well soon
Hope you have a fast recovery!

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

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.
