Interseting article from Charles Alsheimer on his fight with the disease. He claims to have gotten it from a black fly bite.

I was out shed hunting Sat. and within an hr I had pulled 37 ticks off my pants. ( yes i kept track ) I got the picture and left. Went to my dads and had some coffee with him and felt something on my neck that turned out to be a tick. I went out on his porch and took off my pullover and found 3 more on it. One more on my shirt underneath and one crawling around on the porch for a grand total of 42 ticks for the day. Going to be a bad yr.
