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!! [group hug]

Melissa,

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