This is from winter 2007 edition of a forensic magazine. It is some of the best info I've read on what I refer to as the lyme & company.
Read pages 42-55. I was really amazed with the write up "Toxic Shock Syndrome or Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever?"
8 yrs ago an ID duck told me my sx sounded like toxic shock and laughed at lyme possiblilty. Well quack quack, you might of had the toxic shock right? But it wasn't a vaginal swab needed to find it? Then if he had been open minded he might of considered a tick born illness with it.
When you had/have a full body rash like the one on page 53? It's not a simple 21 pills and done!!!!

Darn. My Adobe program goes crazy lately so I can't view PDF files.
Did the article infer that nectrotic spider bites can be confused with tick bites?
Just curious.... I have a friend who had a chunk surgically removed from his arm from a Brown Reculse spider bite 2 years ago.... now that would be hard to confuse with a tick bite, I would think.......
