Saw several ticks on deer taken at hunt camp this year. SW Va.

Ticks are no joke. One tick put me in intensive care for a week. My heart rate was 25. Lyme Carditis. Stage 3 heart block, temporary pacemaker and a month of daily Doxycycline administered into a picc line that lead from my arm directly to my heart.

I got up to use the bathroom and passed out on the floor. My wife heard it and called 911. Doc said if I stayed in bed, I wouldn't have woken up.

All better now but That Sucked!


The woods and the water recharge my batteries.
