Tick Medication

[Ed_K]

 Yrs ago my log trucker ended up at Boston General and almost died from Lyme disease. Don't wait for conditions to get worse.

 When we came home from Tx. in 81 we used to go on family camping trips, one was to Conn. and stopped in Lyme, Conn. to see some modified dirt track racing, ( loved going to them in Tx. ) when we got home Rita had a bullseye on her. We didn't think anything about it, few yrs ago she started having problems with her finger joints swelling and she get mildly sick, so she went to see her Dr. wanting a lyme test she finally said ok and did a test which came back negative. Now she has a finger all swelled up and the Dr. say she can't do anything other than to give Rita a shot of cortisone, and she won't do another lyme test.

 All the time I was logging I never got ticks on me, even when sitting on the ground or walking thru deep grass an ferns. Always said it was because I have cancer, this yr if had 2 of them on me, so they must be real thick around here.
