Idk about you guys but I’m from the tick capitol of the world and i pulled 30 ticks off myself last year and didn’t get limes somehow. Well this year is even worse. Already 10+ and I’m just a host for the bloodsuckers. I haven’t found any of the tiny deer ticks. Just the bigger dog ones but I’m still worried. Is there some spray for hiking. I wear long pants!

Last year I went to the doctors. He gave me 21 days of doxycycline. He told me to take the whole cycle because he “figured” I had lymes. That med was awful I could only tolerate it a tiny bit. Turns out I didn’t have it tho. I still have the med. if I think I get lymes I can call him up and ask if I can take it (3 days worth early prevents it, while 21 days worth treats it) if that makes sense. Would suck to have to take it for 21 days

My psychiatrist thought i had it hahaha had all the symptoms and I kept complaining. I got bit last year by one. They freak me out so bad. I don’t remember them being a problem when i was a kid. Just lately. Everyone and their dogs around here is getting ticks. Super gross. Im glad you didn’t have lyme disease
What are the symptoms.

Muscle and joint pains and aches, headaches, bulls eye rash, anxiety depression and in rare cases hallucinations. Mostly just all over body pain .
Its a simple blood test. Apparently they are reluctant to test for it because half the population has it unknowingly and they don’t want to pay for the treatment. The government i mean.
