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

Ironically I did have my pants bloused into my socks. Not because of ticks though, I was dealing with angry bees. Something else you don't want up your trousers.

Absolutely! You're a braver man than me, for sure.

@That_One_Guy I am in my mid 60s and lived most of my life in rural areas. I must not taste very good. Probably why mosquitoes don't bite me much, either.

But I was once licked by a giraffe.

@the_turtle
I've been bitten by most of the Missouri wildlife unfortunately. I was a curious kid on a farm.

Mosquito don't seem to bother me either. We're having a high tick year.

@That_One_Guy Treated clothes has worked very well for me. That and checking behind the ears!

Hope the drugs do the trick. Apparently it’s an extra-bad year.

@That_One_Guy Ugh. Get well soon!

[that_one_guy@mastodon.world]

@tc_morekindness
Yeah, not the start to summer I was looking for.

Thank you

[tc_morekindness@c.im]

@That_One_Guy I'm sure. Fortunately, there are antibiotics for it, and you've started them.

Just a heads up that it isn't always a ring - mine wasn't.

But mine was angry, purple, and quickly getting HUGE, along with a weird fever, so I got it checked out early.

The CDC has (had?) a gallery showing a variety of rashes that it may look like. And mine was in there.
