In the middle of a very clean woods we were detecting a week ago the guy I was with found this rubber tarantula under the leaves, kids toy. We took this picture to show our wives. My wife went pale when she saw the picture, I told her it fell out of a tree.
That's not real is it?
A couple of years ago I got tested for tick-born illnesses and found out I've already had Rock Mountian Spotted Fever so I just don't even think about them anymore.
*luckily we don't have Lyme Disease here*
I don't know what to think about that...Not Having Lyme Disease In Missouri? Do We or Don't We? I've heard both.
One of my cousins who's city to the core and considers camping...being in the Motor Home without her pool... was diagnosed with that several years ago... she couldn't remember Ever being bit or anywhere a tick was. I didn't believe it at all...mainly because if she would of ever known there was a tick on her..I think she would of had a breakdown and been in therapy over it.
Her Lyme Disease Dr (there's only one that specializes in it here) scared her so bad she moved West where he told her it was safer and better for that condition. She comes back every 4 months for a check up.
I've not been tested for it.
