careful out there hosers - lyme disease will fuk you up

it will take a long time to diagnose, and during that time you will be miserable, and the longer it takes for diagnosis, the more likely it will be a permanent, chronic infection

As someone who grew up in a place that has had Lyme since the 1980s (VA) we really need to improve access to testing and treatment here in Ontario given our climate now is similar to Virginia’s back then.

If you find a tick on your self Peel the thing of and find a local lab and send it out to get tested for Lyme. This way you can tell with in the week and start treatment aspa.

Most Canadians live in the east. In either case, I wouldn't be the one to risk not checking.

I'm below Ontario which is the most populous province last I heard.

upper midwest

Then you should know this doesn't sit below the most populous part of Ontario.
