Better hope you never get it - it is totally debilitating and its complications can easily cause or contribute to death. I have a number of friends - mostly bowhunters - who have had Lyme Disease for many years. The problem when they originally contracted it was incorrect diagnoses for a long time.

I have a good friend who has it. He doesn't seem the worse for wear, but even if he did he wouldn't talk about it.
Here, if you get a red ring around the tick bite they load you up with antibiotics. I never go into the woods wearing shots anymore. It's jeans, sometimes with my cuff tucked into my socks. We also spray ourselves with bug dope. After we return from an outing my wife and I give each other "tick" checks. Not all that bad.
