For those out on the trail this year, you already know about the tick explosion. I have a friend who has been dealing with Lyme disease for over 15 months. He has lost significant weight, and has chronic problems. Lyme disease CAN be treated, BUT, must be treated EARLY. If you have symptoms, please check the following list https://www.lymedisease.org/lyme-dis...tom-checklist/
Please be safe and smart. Lyme disease can affect the rest of your life, it is not something you can "push through."
Good luck to all of you. I wish you all a safe hike, and hope you find whatever you seek on the trail.
