Proven Lyme Disease Protection: Spray Down and Suit Up
I had spent the morning turkey hunting in the West Virginia mountains. On the drive home, I found three black-legged ticks crawling up my arms, even though the temperature at more than 3,100 feet had been in the upper 30s. Unfortunately, I did not find all of them that day.
It wasn’t until the next morning that I discovered a fourth tick, which had attached to my body. I immediately asked my wife to remove it. She used curved tweezers to grab the tick close to my skin and gently, but firmly, pulled backward to remove the bloodsucker. Just as importantly, I took two pills of doxycycline, which I always keep on hand through a doctor’s prescription.
