according to my doctor, you dont HAVE to have the bullseye to have lyme.
mine wasnt a bullseye, but an oblong rash about 12x6 on my back. i thought i had scratched myself at work, and it was infected.
before i was diagnosed, i felt like i had the flu. then i woke up at 5 am to pee and couldnt move my legs! i thought i had a stroke, i was scared to death. went to the doctors that morning , she took one look at me and yep , you got lyme..
she has treated over 100 cases THIS YEAR ALONE here in southern albany county... and it's a REAL small practice.
but , since i treated my clothes with premethrin, the ticks have been staying off. before that, i wouls have 10-15 on me if i walked through the brush.... nasty little bastards
