[MRCG] Bedbugs?NOW TICKS!

[Jay Coward]

Greetings to the Group,
 Ticks are Bad Business! Lime Disease is very difficult to diagnose unless you have knoledge of exposure prior to seeing a doctor for lethargy, aches in muscle and joints and various other ills. My elder sister, 2 sisters in law have had it and I don't think you ever realy  get over it.( One sister in law just had breast cancer therapy and prior Lime may have compromised her imune system) My father,who was in remisson for throat cancer got Lime and it wiped out what was left of his imune system and the cancer resurged.RIP Dad.
 If any of  you have any suspicion of an actual tick bite, get checked out as soon as you can. Usually the buggers latch on and suck blood until bloated and then detach. But you should already know if you have been bitten by then.
 This is no joke. Please take heed, I'd like to see you all next year!

 First of All .. THANKS !!! To all those that helped make this possible, had
a GREAT time, look forward to next year!!

 Tim's explanation of ticks makes the most sense. A few days prior to coming
down to MRCG I had to check out a site on a ridge line between Walnut Creek
and Clayton as a possible location for a data acquisition radio system, the
site was several times up a dirt road and all tall grass land that I had to
walk through. That night I noticed several very nasty welts just above my
ankle on one leg, some nasty thing(s)  bit me. The welts are now just
beginning to heal.

Ouch !
I stayed in the Barracks (Bldg 600) and no problems.  I have stayed on base
for the past 8 or so MRCG's (in different barracks buildings along the way)
and have not had a problem.
There were however *ticks* in the grassy areas, maybe even just outside the
NCO club.  I picked one up while on Guard Hill....With all those Deer
around, not surprising....

I did see a cool Bobcat stalking breakfast by the creek on Friday
AM...(didn't chew on my legs....) Tim
