Finally out again!!

[Jay Banta]

As some of you may know, I was out of the game for a while. I was bitten by a tick and was being treated for Lyme disease. But I’m done with the meds now and able to swing again.

Got out today and got a 1906 O Barber quarter, a 1903 V nickel, and an unknown date Wheat. It was great to get out again!!

Glad to see you're back in the game!! Great first day back!!!

 

[Jay Banta]

Thank you! I have been chomping at the bit to get Buford out and let him sniff the ground! Thank you again!!

 

[Johncoho]

Nice finds and glad you are on the mend. I had Lyme last summer and took antibiotics for 6 months to cure it.

 

[Jay Banta]

Wow!!! I guess I caught mine early enough and got on the meds. Just happy to be out again in the sun!!!!

I had it almost 20 years ago and waited to long to see a doctor. I had a fever spike hitting almost 105 and couldn't walk my body hurt so bad. I finally found the bullseye on my neck and only being 18 was poor so I went to a vet and he tested and treated me. Still even when I get a small cold my body hurts terrible.

 

[Jay Banta]

Wow! I hate to hear that. Just hope I caught mine quick!!

Good to see you back at again. Nice finds.
How long were you down for? That stuff is no joke.

 

[Jay Banta]

I was down for about a month or more. I was sooo ready to get back out again. Felt good to feel the dirt!! Best medicine around!!!

That’s a beautiful barber quarter. Congrats. Nice to see you out and about again. Take care.

 

[Silvermonkey]

Glad to hear you are feeling well enough to get out hunting. Congrats on some nice finds too!

 

[Trezurehunter]

Glad your doing ok, and it looks like you had a very nice first day back out.

Nice finds and best wishes. I've had it twice and happen to be blessed enough that the test is never positive. The first time I got Bell's Palsy from it and couldn't control my facial muscles for year or so. The second time I got cellulitis from it which is what you get right before the flesh eating virus. I think I still have some level of it in my body because now anytime I get any kind of a tick bite every bite I've ever had starts itching like crazy. I wake up every morning feeling like I played pro football all night but still consider myself lucky. An acquaintance in town got bitten by a Lone Star tick while on a wilderness retreat. Now if he would try and eat red meat he'd become violently ill, and that's going to be for life. That tic is so small they could hold a square dance on a match head, but they sure pack a punch.

Congratulations on the Barber and V.
Got pictures of Buford? lol

 

[Rookster]

Good to hear you're hunting again.Congrats

 

[Jay Banta]

I feel lucky so far. Nothing has happened yet. Just trying not to get bit again, but I know it’s coming. The headache and fever I was dealing with, but not getting out was driving me nuts!! Figured I’d take it slow and get used to the machine again!!

 

[Jay Banta]

Haha!! No pictures of Buford until he gets a bath!!

 

[Clad2Silver]

Congrats on getting out again AND the Barber quarter.

Wow! I hate to hear that. Just hope I caught mine quick!!

It is 100 percent curable. It just depends on how soon it is diagnosed and treated as to what long term effect it has on your body.
