Topband: Antenna work and protection

[Jim]

Ladies and Gents, 

  Please as you do your yearly antenna building/repair chores give some thought to protecting yourselves from Mosquitos and ticks.  Lyme disease is particularly bad here in Maryland and throughout the northeastern part of the country.  Check with your health professional for the recommended topical deterrent if necessary but do it now.  I can tell you from past experience Lyme's is nothing to sneeze at and can cause life changing health problems.   When you come in from working in the woods, field or even you back yard make sure you immediately take a shower to wash any hitchhikers off of you and down the drain.  Remember that the ticks that cause Lyme di sease are very small and may be missed by even the closest scrutiny if you are not careful, it is always best to have someone else inspect your hair etc for you.  



REMEMBER LYME DESEASE IS FOR LIFE
