Little Giggle is being preemptively treated for Lyme Disease. Now...I use the word preemptive because she hasn't actually been diagnosed with it, but because she got bug bites while on vacation and because those bites are now turning "rash-like" according to her hypochondriac birth mother they must be Lyme Disease.
SO...I'm throwing out a word of caution to anyone even thinking of a camping trip in the near future...
If you suspect that you've gotten bit by an infected black-legged deer tick and are now covered in a severe rash (that suspiciously looks like bug bites) and even if that is the only "sympton" of Lyme Disease you are displaying (others include nausea, vomiting, flu-like symptoms) you should immediately begin a 20-day course of antibiotics because you too have Lyme disease.
This message is courtesy of Mr. Chucklehead's ex-wife...feel free to contact me for further details.
And here I thought that this snorkel gear would keep her from Lyme Disease...she does look sickly doesn't she...or maybe thats just the sunshine glinting off her shoulders...
