PSA, after hiking, do your tick checks thoroughly everyone!! The hospital informed me I have a tickborne illness now, which explains why I’ve been bedridden the past few days lol. I caught it early, so two weeks of antibiotics should eradicate the disease, but the doctor said it might be rough. TickSafetyLinks⬇️

I’m not going to disclose which illness it is publicly for privacy reasons. I just want others to avoid this!!
