Yep. And since I turned 25 or so, DEET makes me itch like a mofo. So I just roll with it and hope for the best

I had a bad case of Lyme disease. It's amazing how scared doctors are to diagnose something so easy.

Is your neck so stiff you can't move it?

Prob not Lyme then. That's a primary symptom.

RMSF is still pretty debilitating.

Actually, neck stiffness only occurs in about 1/3 of patients. The classic, spreading, circular red rash is the most common finding.
