    Default tick-borne illnesses

    A good article in today's CNN (5-26-18) about one woman's experience with a bacterial infection caused by a tick bite.

    For those who want additional information, there are also some good hyperlinks in the article.

    Also the common cold, herpes, sciescence, tendonitis, my good looks . . . I don't think there is a why, I think it/he/she/they just doesn't/don't care.

    But hey, a conspiracy theory would be fun.
    I'm not lost. I'm exploring.

    What ma nature does to you isn't near as bad as what most people do to themselves. Just walkthrough a Walmart. Perspective.

    But more seriously
    As good as the Earth is at generating life,
    It's even better at destroying it
    99.9% of species that ever existed.......became extinct.

    We have had to have ticks surgically removed from our dog due to our not checking frequently... Oh. .. so sad! Please, check your dog!
