Ch.323: My New Tick Bite & Bull’s Eye Rash + Treatment I’ve Undergone Since The End Of May

Описание: In the 323rd chapter of my story, I talk about being bitten by a tick the end of May, developing a bull’s eye rash (which is an indicator of tickborne illnesses like Lyme Disease), and the testing and treatment I’ve undergone since then. I also talk about how to safely extract an attached tick and all of the preventative actions I normally take to prevent this happening. But now that it has happened again, I talk about the PTSD this causes since Lyme is what started my chronic illness journey 12 years ago this month…
