Do you know I had every symptom of Lyme…but because the test 1 lousy test was negative they blew me off no treatment… one day I was running a home health company the next day I could barely write my name, I deteriorated quickly. I had to quit my job moving with my mother so she could take care of me. I could barely pick up a glass of water my joints were double the size they should be you name itand they would not treat me. They would not acknowledge me and I kept fighting for them to help me 20 months later, they still didn’t help me. I had to go to a functional medicine doctor to get diagnosed Babesia, anaplasmosis and 3 other ticks and they refused to help me Lehigh Valley Hospital - Cedar Crest

Some Ticks crawl, and some Ticks run. Ticks can fall off of birds, squirrels, deer, mice. Ticks are everywhere you are. Forest, dog-walking path, your yard, playground, lake, seashore, hiking, biking, city parks, golf-course, soccer field, outdoor concert, gardening.
