We have a bumper crop of ticks this year. Even when we keep the grass in the yard low, we can’t go out of the house without finding ticks on our bodies. My hubby and I have to check each other’s body for ticks every night before going to bed. Actually, I am getting paranoid, I always feel ticks crawling on my skin whether they are there or not. We are taking extra precautions not to get bit by a tick. It’s very difficult here to get sick because it is hard to get antibiotics.
My hubby has had Lyme Disease and remained undiagnosed for almost a year. When he finally got antibiotic treatment, it was too late then because much damage had already been done. It helped but we believed that the bacteria had already spawned by the time he got treated. It’s a long story and I don’t want to go into the details about it. I don’t want to get the same disease. We need at least one of us healthy to be able to care for ourselves.
