thanks, i just got back from emergency room .

i got real dizzy and flu like .could not keep my balance.

they said that it takes from 3 days to 2 weeks for this to show up,so i was sick on monday at youngwomans creek stocking trout ,i figure i got bit on thursday, so that was 4 days to show up and got worst on the 6 th day today.

they said the nymph ones which come out now are worst because they are so small you have hard time seeing them and feeling them.they are bad ones with red butt and 8 legs.

i looked in mirror same day i came home and saw nothing on my back.

today is when i FELT something wrong in shower and saw blood all over my fingers as i reached back to try to reach the spot below my shoulder blades.

i have hole in my back the size of a pencil eraser,CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT.DID NOT FEEL ANYTHING UNTIL TODAY.

the pills cost 9 dollars and are doxyocyline you take for 28 days.

i took pill 3 hrs ago and feel better already even tho they said it takes a day or so for pill to work.

my dizzness is almost gone.

too bad they dont make something like a soap that you can put on in shower that will kill a tick.


3 years ago i was sitting in paddys run creek near renovo,pa.

i was sitting on rock in creek.

not a tick on that rock ,yet i got home and found 2 down my neck.

doctor said they followed my breath to my neck from trees above.

unreal.
hope i am not boring anyone but this info may help someone.

this has just added another disappointing thing to sport we all enjoy, getting out in woods scouting with kids or dogs.i love to do it but i am not taking any kids out to our boy scout camp as of now, no way.

i never had 12 ticks on my dog in 1 hr or so walking pipelines,usually its about 2 or 3 total.
