Lyme should always be an underlying consideration today depending on where you live.
I’ve been treated for Lyme twice but have never had symptoms other than aches, flue like and bulls-eye rash. I know others that have not been treated can have lingering and very serious symptoms. I like being and working in the woods on my property and now I’m always wary using coveralls bloused boots and Permethrin and deet.
We live in a coastal town in northern California where there are many deer, and where they are, the ticks are also.
