Pennsylvania

us nearly every day.

I had Lyme disease several years ago & I was shocked at how quickly it ‘took over’.

I found the engorged tick & figured I’d wait to see if I got any symptoms.

My first symptoms were very subtle - forgot I had wash in the washing machine, then I had difficulty making decisions, then lock jaw and my neck became so stiff that I could barely drive. I told the doc I had Lyme but, he said he thought it was all in my head!! He didn’t believe I had any “real” symptoms. I immediately got started on Doxycycline by another MD & it cleared.

I now keep a 21 day supply of Doxycycline on hand at all times. If you find an attached tick that is engorged don’t wait for symptoms! Remove the tick & send it for testing & get started on meds.

And, check those kiddos daily!
