I got bit by a lone star tick camping at Johnson Shutins in Missouri about 8 weeks ago. Thanks to my health anxiety, I knew about AG and the timeline and such so I was keeping a close watch the last couple months. Sure enough, 7 weeks later I started having chest tightness in the middle of the night. I decided to test my theory by eating a beef stick. 8 hours later I had explosive diarrhea. I promptly made an appointment and got the labs done.

Any tips on how to proceed from here? I’m so bummed. I’m very outdoorsy, so I’m so sad that I’m going to have to be so careful about ticks going forward.
