Ok, so I got home from work ( I am a veterinary nurse), I am in the shower and notice a new birthmark. I look a little closer and oh joy, it is a deer tick!
Why do they like me so much??!!!!!
Thankfully, I am already on antibiotics.

Can you change jobs? Remember, you can still get coinfections or new coinfections.
I agree. I hate them with a passion. I would freak if I saw another anytime soon.
hugs to you!! Posted by bettyg (Member # 6147) on :
glad you ARE so observant to be looking for them!
yes, you and 15,000 members all hate ticks!! Posted by merrygirl (Member # 12041) on :
oh no! make sure you call llmd!
Being Vet techs we are at high risk. I dont know if I will ever go back...
So sorry
Melissa

Fill out an accident/injury report.

Melissa,
What an AWESOME idea to fill out an accident report!!! I think jagb09 is absolutely entitled to workman's comp!
