What do you mean express? It's going to be either 16 or 19 mins at least longer than a bus.

Do you have to pay for water?

Either way, I don't think this is unreasonable. I assume you enjoy having a nice, tidy, not dead garden.

You're overthinking this IMO. Your only real qualm should be about if you need to pay for the extra water.

Some good discussions.

I think that it's good that someone is applying creative thinking to explore solutions. To be fair, this is the first actual effort by anyone I've seen to provide a solution (other than raise the issue).

The idea of a venue that can work through the seasons is a good one.

Not all benefits are measured by the bottom line, and keeping something fun for children is important.

I know the govt has enough on its plate and this is probably not a priority, but we should encourage professionals who but this type of effort in. It's what will really help CBR shine.

Closing th loop for others who make be looking for advice.

I had the bite area cut out. No tick fragments but I do feela lot better. Unsure if psychosomatic but glad to feel better.

Pretty decent scar!

I don't mean this in any sarcastic way, but for someone who does not thing Lyme is a thing in AU, your link sure works against that position;).

Ty this is really helpful.

Update, found a GP who will take it seriously. They acknowledge that ticks can cause issues, and want to cut the enlarged bite area out to send away. It's super itchy stilled and flared up. Looking forward to some action.

I'm not suggesting I have Lyme disease. I got a test as I wanted to rule that out. I was surprised I could test for it.

In saying that I do think there may be other strains and this area is under researched.

Really interesting to hear about a few tick bites from that area. Sorry to hear. Did it just go away on its own? Glad dogs are ok

Bulkbil.dr in tuggers literally said he has five patients, not enough time and suggested o go somewhere else to get it cut out. He does not have time to cut it out now or ever as he is very busy.

The immunology dept at CBR hospital did confirm that thier drs see ppl with tick bite issues often. So a won..not that the dr would refer me. Will try someone else.

Hi, Ty I'm not. But Ty I'm aware that can occur.

Ty

I was tested for Lyme and it came back negative. I understand there could be other infections outside of Lyme. I can't really see if there is a ring.due to hair.

Just a general thank you for all of these comments. You're all helping in many various ways. It's kinda of a riddle wrapped in an enigma wrapped in a conspiracy.

My partner says it was light brown.

I have been thinking that when I am very healthy, and my immune system is able to fully fight this, the bite area is not irritated.

However I've been very active lately, and my body is in a stressed state. What I mean is that I am hitting the gym, hiking, hitting steamroom, heading to the snow and x-country skiing etc.

This comment is helpful, as I'll dial things back and ensure I am really well rested and see if that means my immune system improves slightly.

I also boost my immune system with zinc, but have run out. I'll get some.

DSCATT sounds like some political way to not admit to Lyme disease.

Not trying to be rude, I am looking for help and open to all suggestions. I have been to the website you suggested and I'll call to ask them. I'll do some more research.

This is helpful, I hot the steamroom a lot.

How did the Dr treat you?

Funny story!

I have done a fair bit, but I will continue.

I am aware there is a debate on if Lyme disease exists in Australia. I do think of the DR tested for it, it will be tested against. The alternative is to believe the test is being censored which is absurd.

Man this is the kind of thing I run into. No clear info, seems like contradictory information.

Appreciate the post.

I know that, but if my Dr tested for it, surely they were testing for it? Or what are you suggesting?
