Default 'Tis the season

Watch out for those ticks, they are out and about and
spreading disease.

I've spent the last ten days with Rocky Mountain Spotted
Tick Fever.
The best way I can describe it is; the worst flu you ever had
X5.

I managed to eat the first meal I had in over a week
yesterday, today I feel almost back to normal with the
exception of being very weak.

The cure is simple, a short course of doxycycline
antibiotics and time.

Important thing is to get ticks off as soon as possible
and if flu like symtoms develope, seek out treatment
as soon as possible. RMSTF becomes more unforgiving
as treatment is delayed and is sometimes fatal.
