>>2722997im going camping next week. and I did some research and its peak lyme season in a high risk area. FUCK
theres a fucking chance I already have lyme. I was crippled for the last two years by a mysterious illness. i was diagnosed with fucking brain damage for unknown cause, but i suspect it was lyme and I got thru it. It might not be, but I only recently got better and I'm TERRIFIED of lyme regardless.
I recently learned about lyme NYMPHS meaning a teeny tiny poppy seed sized tick. Pic related is a picture published by the CDC to get the point across about how small these fuckers can be. Theres ticks in the photo.
everyone says permethrin, but am I going to kill my friends cats or something if I treat my boots or have permethrin socks in my boots, and then later bring those boots to my friends house with cats in it etc? How easy is it to poison pets accidentally?
