*i know this thread doesn't belong here but,thought it would get the most views and it should*
all you detectorists should be very careful.
even though i take precautions i somehow got bit and didn't even know it.
i always check myself after every hunt and usually tuck my jeans into my socks.
i saw no ticks attached at any point this year.
last week i started getting fever syptoms,stiff neck,pounding headaches and sore left elbow and forearm.
i went to dr's tuesday of last week and told him i think i may have lyme disease.he said based on my syptoms and lack of rash,and usually may june july ticks are most active he said it may be flu.
i said sir,i hate to argue with you but the ticks are active now and i insist the test.ok he said.they drew blood and sent to lab.
now i wake up sunday morning and here is this rash that appeared overnight.
just got results back now...POSITIVE FOR LYME DISEASE.
going to get antibiotics now but just want to shed some light to those who are unaware of what may be crawling up your legs or down your back,without you even knowing or even feeling these little parasites.
BE CAREFUL OUT THERE! PLEASE!
