I would be interested in your opinion on this one.
I run in the woods a lot. I was distressed because I found a deer tick on me in the morning. I didn’t get the characteristic bull’s eye bruise or the flu and I believe it was only on me for 11 hours so I am not that worried about lime disease.
However, I have two questions concerning ticks and mosquitoes which are horrible some times.
1) Is lime disease one occasion where antibiotics are a necessary thing?
2) Is deet a good or bad thing to put on your body before running in the woods?
Thanks,
Jim
