I live in SouthWest Virginia (in the red in pic related) and I make frequent trips to West Virginia for out related activity (also in the red.)
About two weeks ago I had a fever and chills with a headache that lasted for about a week.
I went to the doctor for that and he told me to wait it out, so I did.
Last week I realize i've got two very red rashes on my knee and by the next day thy have morphed into one giant rash.
Now I have neck stiffness back pain and headaches are back.
They only tick I remember encountering before the sickness was a little one on my wrist about two weeks before first symptoms while hunting. It couldn't have been there more than an hour.
Do I have lyme disease?
How do I protect myself from the degenerate bugs?
Is this the price I pay for /out/?
