What Really Grinds My Gears

There also is misinformation about how long the tick needs to be attached to transmit. First pediatrician said the tick needs to be on at least 36 hours. The tick on my son was there less than 12. Crazy that my county has declared it an epidemic, yet many docs are still not entirely aware of the problem. The last pediatrician we saw said he's seeing 1-2 new cases come in everyday.

Good to know. I think I knew that 12 was the magic number. Whenever I check myself for ticks, I do another, more thorough check in the shower, which sometimes occurs close to that 12 hour mark.

I'm curious as to why the treatment is different. I n 2007, it was 30 days worth of the anti-biotic. A month ago, it was 2 pills. That's it. Most docs up here (Maine) treat as soon as they find out you have been bitten.

I wouldn't be surprised. He's in second in the polls now, meanwhile Jeb keeps running a poor campaign, and the rest of the field seems awful. I'm gaining a lot of respect from Rand Paul, but who knows how things will shake out.

I actually like a number of the candidates. Rand Paul is certainly interesting. I like Rubio.

Not sure why the treatment is all over the place. Different strains? Idk...

[cp176]

could be because he is so young maybe - In New England, they just assume that if the tick is a deer tick then there is a fairly good chance that it carries lyme thus the treatment whether they know it is infected or not. Good luck! Most of the time, they determine the tick type and that is it.

[mvp 78]

Well he has lyme because of the bullseye rash. Don't know of any docs that just assume lyme.

Jacko, any ideas?

[jacko]Well, mvp, Lyme Disease can be a tricky thing. Depending on the treatment, he'll be out at least six weeks and probably won't be at full strength for another four weeks after that. This is going to be a major blow to your season. My son also has Lyme Disease, but he'll pull through it in six or seven days and be back on the field with no residual effects.[/jacko]

LOL Not to make light of MVP's son, but this is really funny.

Too bad one of us can not dig up the chart. You'd love it.

I found the threads, but the chart is completely blank. Must have been removed when Yeszir updated the site a few years back.

It went like this Kimmi

LOL This type of thing is all too familiar. It's like the double standard is an inborn trait among Yankees fans. I'm sure I would love the chart.

I added some formatting, but this version of vBulletin doesn't seem to show tables correctly -- especially on mobile.
