Linda S-- ugh!! There is nothing worse than a call/text in the middle of the night but for it to be a stupid commercial?? ahhh!!!!!
Hope that the siding estimate wasn't too bad.
How is soccer coaching for Syd coming along?
Phyllis- 4:30am? That is brutal! on weekends I make myself stay in bed until at least 6, just so I feel like I am sleeping in a bit. Which is really silly if I am just rolling around trying to get comfy.
Oh yuck, ticks........ my biggest fear in life. I feel like I am a walking talking PSA on ticks and Lyme but I can't help it. So bear with me all of you as I try to promote Lyme awareness.
This is going to be a worse than normal year for ticks because of the mild winter. Ticks can and do live year round, but are more active when the weather is warm. Also becasue of the warmth and lack of snow the vectors (animals that carry the ticks from place to place) such as mice and deer, are also more plentiful.
Lyme and other tick borne infections (bartonella, babessia, ehrlichia, rocky mt spotted fever) can be found in and transmitted by many types of ticks, not just deer ticks.
Transmission of the Lyme spirochete can take place as soon as the tick is attached. However, the least amount of time attached means the less likelihood of transmission.
Most people do not recall a tick bite and most people do NOT get a bulls-eye rash.
Last bit-- 2 weeks of doxycline-- the standard dose- will not completely eradicate the bacteria.
Do you want me to shut up now?:banplease: I am sorry, I can't help it,
Now i am itching and feeling crawly- which is ironic because the reason that you don't "feel" a tick but is that there is some anesthetic in their saliva.
So Phyllis, did I freak you out? I am sorry if it did.
I wish I could go back in time and have ignorance about Lyme and TBI's. The killer part of this all is that any of us can get "cured" and then bitten again and reinfected- which is what happened to Caitlyn last year. *sigh*
