I tink I has rabbit fever :-/

Careful that it isn't lyme disease.

What symptoms do you have? There has to be a specific test for lyme though.

Lyme disease is from a deer tick, the tiny one. This one was a regular american dog tick I think. I should have saved it in a vial, I know better than that too but it was a medium sized hard one and didn't appear to get much too eat so i didn't. Guess it doesn't hurt to be safe and have it treated lol!

I have a child hood friend in a wheel chair from that Lyme Disease, nearly 2 years of testing and they finally figured out what it was but by then paraplegia had long set in.

Yeah lyme disease is a bitch, that's why ticks are dangerous. When I used to go camping when I was little my dad used to tell me to make sure I wore full clothing in the woods.

The disease is terribly hard to diagnose, and mostly misdiagnosed for months, as in your friends case, years until it is discovered.

Good thing you know what the difference in the ticks were, I would have no idea and just be paranoid.
