Lyme's Disease on the Trail

A recent diagnosis has been one for Lyme's Disease from a tick received on the trail.  After 5 to 6 days of flu like symptoms, a bulls-eye shaped rash appeared at the site of a tick. Please be caustious to check yourself,kids, animals for these little critters.  My family are out in nature "alot" and know to check for ticks.  In a 10 day period of time, I personally had 5 already inbedded.  I stay usually to the trail and am not walking through brush.  Please check yourself often while out and about.  I have lost a week of time to no energy and what seemed like the flu.  Take care Trail Walkers and I will see you out there in a few days.
