Guest guest Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 > : "Then there's the hidden worry - Lyme disease. A lot of people carry it but it doesn't often manifest unless the person has had an injury or great stress or gets sick or a weakened immune system. It's not just transmitted by ticks but by mosquitoes as well."Funny thing happened to me last week. I was bitten by a deer tick. It was embedded into my arm by the time I discovered it. Rushed to a hospital emergency room because a deep red ring had formed around it. After it was cut out, bandaged, and antibiotics ingested, I was given written information about Lyme disease: "Tick bites are very common in this area, they are generally caused by deer."
