I spotted a man at Boston's airport on Friday wearing this great t-shirt in the style of The Black Dog t-shirts of Martha's Vineyard: "The Black Tick Nantucket", and it has a giant tick on it. I just flew back about an hour ago and ordered one! I figure Lyme has ruled my life for about six years now (undiagnosed 2 yrs.; meds for 4;, off for 9 mos.; relpased and am back on), so I might as well be well dressed! :-)

This is a great shirt.
Just a reminder, the tick that is the major culprit in Lyme disease is the black-legged tick. So when people talk to you about your shirt, please to be sure to tell them about the black-legged tick and Lyme and the coinfections.
Only problem is on three seperate occasions I've whacked myself repeatedly in a blind panic trying to get the tick off my chest.
