OK - I've got something I think that will really stir things up so here goes...Rant on.
pulled a few of those little blood sucking, good for nothing little xxxxx (insert your own personal adjective) off of me last week. One of the spots didn't look quite right but I let it go. One week goes by and the "target" appears. Off to the doctor to get my script, regular doctor is not available so I end up seeing the Physicians "assistant". I can't speak to her qualifications but she had the nicest stethascope I have seen in a long time - I coulda been making a movie - no not the plottess trash you gutter boys are heading toward. Think more glitz and glamour (have you ever seen a really good stethascope add). Anyway after dropping what will end up being a few hundred dollars on scripts and copays, and deductables and non-covered expenses (this is the time I start asking myself why I am enslaving myself to the Man just to get heath insurance that makes me pay for everthing out-of-pocket anyway) I find out I have to avoid alcohol and the sun. I reminded the doctor that it is July and isn't July specifically about alcohol and sun. Didn't the founding fathers believe in liberty and brewing beer? What was the guys name who was both a patriot and brewer?? Anyway She gave me a choice of either Lyme or no beer. I reluctantly chose to avoid beer. So no recovery drinks for me - at least for 3 weeks anyway....
Now this is where Sunday hunting comes in. I recall they wiped out Maleria in some parts of the world by going after the mosquito. Could we wipe out Lyme the same way? forget vaccines. Let's go right to the root of the problem - the deer. After all, the ticks transfer Lyme to deer and then back to the tick and occasionally to us. Killing off every last tick seems unreasonable but killing every last deer sounds like an achievable goal. let the hunters go wild - we can even extend the season of rodents too. I understand mice are carriers too. Is there a season for rats and mice in PA.? What day do I need to wear orange so I'm not mistaken for a mouse>>>
Rant off
