The tick I found Saturday on my leg tested positive for Lyme’s disease.
I’m being put on a 21 day cycle of some medication I cannot even pronounce, much less spell. Some nasty side effects come a long with it, including sensitivity to the sun.
In retrospect, I actually feel very fortunate. Had I not found the tick on my leg, the consequences could have potentially been much worse… obviously. So I actually count myself as lucky.

Ugh. Very, very good you caught it when you did.
Hope its as painless as it can get…

You’re lucky.
Catching it early is the difference between a quick resolution and years of painful treatment. Simple antibiotics (even ones you can’t pronounce) take care of it in a few weeks, provided you caught it early.

I hate ticks. ‘Nuff said.
