Lyme's Disease

[Tarrel]

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.
