I nearly died from Rocky Mt. Spotted feaver when I was 17. "Sacking up" caused me to be in the hospital for two weeks, near death, in the worst pain Ive EVER experienced. Even my hair and fingernails hurt.sam_little said:I don't understand the issue with ticks. Growing up riding in SE PA, I had at least a few ticks on me every week. You get home, check your hair over, and pull them out. If you miss a few, big friggin deal. I get that disease is an issue, but not big. The disease cases to bites is a pretty small ratio.
Sack up.
