yuk. i am sitting at the computer. looking out the window. she is about 3 feet away...she is loaded. it bugs me cuz the neighbors feed birds that attract bears and i have been wondering about birds with ticks.
so far at this house-one year- i have not seen one tick. the ground is very sandy and therefore hot. grass is thin. i thought that is why i didnt have any. oh yuk. yuk. yuk.
there are so many new cases here and the docs give people nothing unless they complain and then they give them 400mg doxy one time!
apparently that is what cdc says to do????
what a mess we are in. and will be in. now i know why my home health aides are unable to do much. they are undiagnosed lyme and sick themselves but the docs just say with a laugh...oh your getting older.
HOW MANY YEARS HAS IT BEEN!!!!
have we not made any progress?
