STARI

[bobpbx]

My grandaugher had a tick on her shoulder. It was definitely a lone star. I pulled it out. Now she has a rash that appears like a bullseye, but I've seen this before, and it's not lymes according to what I've read that lone stars do not carry lymes. Nevertheless of course she was seen by a doctor, who prescrbed antibiotics. The doctor said definitely lymes, but I said, no, can't be, so I looked it up.

It's here, and it's spreading. Glad she was seen for it.

They better get use to them where they live. Tick central.

Sue, what is here and spreading; STARI or Lymes?

STARI. Lyme is already here. NJ has so many lone star ticks, so I'd be concerned with STARI. It's not as serious but still no bueno.
