A tic got me, says Peter

Hi Val,

Last month I felt the tic bite me on my chest but thought it was a mosquito and treated it accordingly. After a couple of days I forgot about it.   Three weeks later I was feeling very tired and generally grotty and found that I had the start of the Lyme's disease rash.  The doc removed the now engorged tic and I was treated with the specific required antibiotic.  Almost certainly this tic got me whilst I was working on the potager.  I hardly ever go without a shirt.  Just unlucky I guess.


Peter
