Well I found out I have Lyme Disease an hour ago.

[that_one_guy@mastodon.world]

@joyce
Yeah. They are using an older potent antibiotic. Just bad luck.

[that_one_guy@mastodon.world]

@LJ
That's what I'm on. I've pulled two off this year, the second gave me it to me. Apparently ticks are very bad this year.

@That_One_Guy how did you find out?
I've had multiple infections cured with antibiotics, but many more bites..
I know what an "erithema migrans" looks like, but it's pretty scary!

[that_one_guy@mastodon.world]

@brnrd
They diagnosed it off the rash and did blood work.

@That_One_Guy Hope your recovery goes well.️‍🩹

[lj@zirk.us]

@That_One_Guy I'm kind of mad at myself. I was up late & didn't shower before bed last night - where I would have found the ticks before they attached. I know better. Sigh

[that_one_guy@mastodon.world]

@cfmccarthy
Thanks

[that_one_guy@mastodon.world]

@LJ
It's been several years since I've seen one so I got lax in checking myself. My new apiary apparently has them.

[theosuwb@mastodon.social]

@That_One_Guy well wishes and speedy recovery . It can be treated.

[brnrd@bsd.network]

@That_One_Guy hoping for a speedy recovery for you!

[that_one_guy@mastodon.world]

@Theosuwb
Thank you. I'm on medication now.

[that_one_guy@mastodon.world]

@brnrd
Thank you

[artseagardener@mstdn.social]

@That_One_Guy
Ticks suck. Wishing you a thorough recovery!

[nirak@carhenge.club]

@That_One_Guy @maaikees Oh no I’m so sorry:(

[wyliecoyoteuk@mastodon.org.uk]

@That_One_Guy Sorry to heathat, hope you get the right treatment.

[mast0d0nphan@beige.party]

@That_One_Guy Damn, sorry you got bit. Hopefully you get treated before it spreads.

Remember fedibody, wear light, long pants when hiking or walking through tall grass, wear close-toed shoes, wear ankle or leg socks, and most importantly, shower yourself in bug repellant!

[moelassus@mastodon.social]

@That_One_Guy ah geez, that stinks! I hope the meds do the trick. A couple of friends of mine have the Alpha-Gal syndrome from tick bites. Ticks are horrible.

[florapis@toot.wales]

@That_One_Guy oh,thats not good. But its good you're diagnosed and hopefully you can now get it sorted

[beachbum@mastodon.sdf.org]

@That_One_Guy Thank goodness you were tested and know early. I don’t think people realize just how bad Lyme disease is if not caught early. Get well soon.

[that_one_guy@mastodon.world]

@nirak
Thanks. Another life challenge
