Got lucky and felt this pinhead walking on my forearm.

Still have a mark on my neck from tick 2 weeks ago. No bullseye.

Yesterday found this on my knee. Ugh.

Bad tick year for sure. I think we’re at 9 in my family.

Wow, he certainly didn't waste any time!!! Did you have any DEET or anything applied?

Nope, I never use anything

pulled 7 or 8 ticks off my legs after riding brisbane last week, although I should have known better as the trails were overgrown. First tick in something like 8 years.

I picked up this disease from a tick almost two years ago: https://alphagalinformation.org/symptoms/. It took me a long time to get diagnosed. I ended up in the hospital 7 times and no one could figure out why. But my immunologist says it's becoming more and more common in NJ. I think I know the tick that gave it to me, it was Stephens. If a tick bit hurts, get it looked at, regardless of what your primary doc might say.

If anyone is local to Hoboken, the vaccine study is still looking for participants. Unfortunately just a bit too far for me to commit to.

I’ve had the alpha gal allergy for 7 years now. Just no beef for me aside from fast food.

I had the vaccine a good many years ago, had lyme two times after. I will be waiting this out to see what it will be. As a glassblower and working with many drug makers though my years please remember their bottom line is $$$$$$$$$$$$$.

Vaccine technology has come a long way in 20 years.
