[QUOTE="1 Day At a Time, post: 422136, member: 3704"] Jena, Our easy child contracted Lyme's last summer when he was hiking the Appalachian Trail and was bitten by a tick. He had the distinctive bull eye's rash - it was huge and very black - so the doctor he was able to locate after a two day side hike immediately prescribed the oral antibiotics. He was quite ill for a week - and ended up staying at a hostel for the entire week - although he was sure he'd only be off the trail for a day. It really knocked him for a loop. The doctor did tell him that he could have symptoms later even though he was immediately treated. One of his hiking buddies had Lyme's earlier and he had a short episode of Bell's Palsy later on. These are very healthy , fit guys who hiked the entire 2,000+ mile trail - so I agree - this is nothing to ignore. The CDC website has some excellent information - including an interactive map that shows the reported cases in the country. It's apparently very, very common in the Northeastern states.
