One other(x3) thing

Still febrile today so I saw Nicola and he of course asked to see the lesion..which it turns out has an escar in the center. Since I couldn't see my own fanny and Lynne wasn't advised of the difference it simply was overlooked and, well, when was the last time I had staph and felt this crummy. The adenopathy is still regional but unchanged and I'm still flippin febrile. 

So off to the pharmacy I go for some doxycycline and here's hoping that this does the trick. African tic fever. I certainly was in plenty of places I could have been exposed.  It's a better idea than mine to be sure. No spots yet and the doxy is a bit broader spectrum and ultimately a better choice than the clox I was taking.

Well at least you can check that one off your list. Exotic disease...check!

Mike!! Double check the head of the tick is still not there! Vaseline ++ to suffocate it. I have a story to tell you about tics!! Hope you are feeling better.

Ugh! Some adventures come with a price, right? We are trying to not get burnt to crisps, but are having fun and swimming fast. Flo swimming has every single heat of swimming from our meet, so you can watch any swim you want. Miss you!
