Ticks and Lyme Disease

Post by Sharon » Wed Apr 19, 2023 12:35 pm

Putting this thread here , but fishermen and hunters need to be aware.

Some think it is not a big deal; you might get Lyme disease, but it will pass. Not always so.

Sometimes (often?) the affects of Lyme disease can last for years.

Be cautious. Wear long pants and a long sheaved shirt. Tie off that shirt at the cuffs with an elastic or..
Pull your socks up over your pants.

Ticks often crawl up you body and go down your neck. What should we do about that?

Be safe.
