You are fortunate to catch it early, Curly. Nasty, debilitating disease if not stopped. Most people with Lyme's here in BC are not so fortunate. I think perhaps now, they are more in tune with this, but just 20 years ago, it was rarely caught until too late. Here in the middle of the Province, the Dr's were positive there were no lyme's carrying ticks so they refused to test for it. Friend of mine (who had Lyme's)proved them wrong by collecting ticks and sending them to a private lab in Victoria for testing. Several were positive out of 28 ticks tested. He got it while logging on Vancouver Island.
