RE: Lyme's Disease
Haha, perfect timing really. My wife has picked up 3 pairs of tick removers from work for me. Well, 1 pair for the dogs, and the other 2 sets for my stocks. One for the BOB, the other for my out and about first aid kit.

Also, another great reason to stock antibiotics haha.

RE: Lyme's Disease
Girl who cuts my hair has Lyme disease. Picked it up a couple of years ago from a tick, and can't get rid of it. It affects her central nervous system, giving symptoms similar to ME; extreme fatigue, numbness, chronic pain, etc. Not nice.

I'm lucky; ticks don't seem to like me. You still won't catch me in our woodland without boots and long trousers on though. And I always take a bug-proof shelter if wild-camping, especially up here in Scotland.

Found on the net. Shows what can happen if you let ticks get the upper hand.
Find a resilient place and way to live, then sit back and watch a momentous period in history unfold.

I had Lyme Disease from a deer tick bite back in the mid 1980's. Fortunately, I had a good doctor who put me on 100mg Rocephin IV twice a day for two weeks. No recurrences or any effects since.
If at first you don't secede, try, try again!

Use insect repellent containing 20% DEET (N, N-diethyl-m-toluamide), (on skin or clothing) or permethrin (on clothing and gear).
