    At least he doesn’t have the “Growing 20-Point Antlers” syndrome.

    All doctors should give such practical advice.

    Doctor doesn’t know a tick bite when he see it.

    I hope his nudist camp doesn’t have an archery range.

    My boy is a mean kid. I came home the other day and saw him taping worms to the sidewalk, he sits there and watches the birds get hernias. Well, only last Christmas I gave him a B-B gun and he gave me a sweatshirt with a bulls-eye on the back. I told my kids, “Someday, you’ll have kids of your own.” One of them said, “So will you.”-Rodney Dangerfield

    That rash is either erythema multiforme, erythema marginatum, or erythema migrans

    I had a rash like this 20 years ago. THought is was just s spider bite as no one knew anything about Lyme back then. Weeks later I had flu-like fever, then all kinds of terrible symptoms. Docs were mystified (as they tend to be with lyme disease). Many years later I dug a tick out of my back. My doctor told me (in 2010) there was no such thing as Lyme disease. So, foolishly, I believed him. I have suffered unbelievable pain over the last 8 years, and continue to battle the many infections that a tick can unleash. Tick borne illnesses wreak havoc on our bodies. Don’t EVER ignore a tick bite!
