                                            Lyme. It's here. As you know, I don't post a lot about work. This, however, is of utmost importance. Early recognition and treatment can be the difference between full recovery vs. years of complex chronic illness. This lesion, on the upper thigh, occurred about 1 week ago. Diameter ~2". Mildly itchy. Patient cannot be tested at this time, due to relatively recent exposure. Tick can only be tested if found and retained. Lyme expert was consulted. Treatment recommended and prescribed. 
The patient is me. 
Stay safe.
