Slightly Batty,

Glad to hear you have a plan for the oxy....

Sorry about that Rocky Mountain Spotted Tick Fever...I know it's tough, tough.

In the 70s while in high school, a big, strong friend of mine contracted that disease from a tick bite. He did not ever notice the tick bite. He just knew he was sick, sick.

The doctors did not have much experience with Rocky Mtn. Spotted Tick Fever at that time....needless to say, he damn near DIED before some good smart doctor pulled out his reference books and decided to treat him for the Fever.

My friend said that disease hurt like h**l all over and he could barely move. His went on for about 3 weeks before they figured it out...

I now know it's mostly those brown ticks with the single little white dot on their back that can carry this disease....and they have to be on you for about 8 hours before they can transmit the disease to you...

If it ain't something, it's something else, eh?
