Thanks Larry. Lyme is still highly under rated. I had NO idea how bad it is. Before Zoe contracted it, I was led to believe no big deal, just a few weeks of antibiotics and you're done. I suppose that's the case if you catch it before it really runs rampant.

I'm really glad Zoe didn't have butt load of antibiotics before she had lyme, she didn't have any resistence towards the mild antibiotics and she did very well on plain old amoxicillan. Granted, she was on it for over six months, but she still seems to do fine on it when she needs it.

Anyway, just a word of caution to anyone out there that gets nailed by a tick. Get on antibiotics straight away, to nip it in the bud.
