Wow.  Need to take precautions!

Guys, this is NOT a new disease.  It is a known tick born illness.

ABC said it was a new disease and we all know that the media never gets anything wrong.... lol

I wonder if this was the same illness that Trevor Bayne had recently that took him out of his NASCAR ride for a few weeks and sent him to Mayo Clinic.

Didn't know about it.

I've pulled about 5 ticks off in the last month. One was in between my toes.  It was tiny!! How in the world it got through the boots and sock is beyond me.

Never heard of that one, but I see it has reached Minnesota, so I'm sure it will be in Iowa shortly.

I try to spray down in the woods especialy working and cruising timber! One of my co-workers got limes disease and they like to waited to long to figure it out and he liked to lost but is back on his feet now!

Had it the summer before last.

Went into St Vincent's hospital in Manhattan the day after Labor Day.

Was in for 7 days. Almost went out of the picture.

It began attacking my organs. Could not breath.

Was out of work for 45 days and on IV at home.

Took me over a year to feel like myself.

All the more reason to invest in Permanone/Permethrin tick repellent.
Treat all your outdoor clothes with it, not just your turkey huntin' stuff.

Great! More stuff to worry about.
