[TowerTalk] Antenna/Tower work safety - Lyme Disease safety

[W1YW at aol.com]

Lyme disease is endemic and epidemic in this part of Massachusetts, mostly  
because we let Bambi and his ilk run free to be a pest to you and me.Deer 
are  the common vector.
 
Some doctors are paranoid about dispensing doxycyclin; other are willing to 
 allow prophylactic scrips for hikers, and so on. 
 
Waiting a week after a possible tick bite is too long; basically you have  
to be concerned within a day. So don't wait. Lyme disease is repeating and  
joint-debilitating if not dealt with quickly.
