GRAH.

403 suggests that my rash looks like early-stage Lyme disease. Investigation on Google shows that the things are damned variable at best. That's me off to the walk-in centre, then; Lyme disease is very treatable if caught early. It's actually a rather likely thing considering the amount of time I spend messing about in long grass and bushes and so on; ticks are not as prevalent here as in North America but blah.

So much for getting stuff done today. I hope they can see me soon enough that I don't have to cancel teaching or Aikido. No shortage of adventure in my life, blah blah blah.

Further updates as events warrant.

Ticked off the list

Well, whatever it is, it isn't Lyme - probably just irritation from a spider bite or similar. Lyme wouldn't have a blister and would be much redder and bigger. I'm to keep it clean (duh) and monitor for any changes and go back if I feel really sick or anything.

Ho-hum. That was a waste of an afternoon, in one sense, but a relief in another. Yay for not having to take yuckky antibiotics. Yay also for micropore tape.
