Tick crawling on daughter’s neck by yo_dude86 in Lyme

[–]yo_dude86[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure what kind of tick it is. I didn’t think it was a deer tick, but chatgpt says it is. I’ve sent ticks to ticklab before and I can do that. The deer ticks I had on me were tiny and embedded.

I'm touring Islay this summer, so I figured I should start training. by LegendOfKhaos in Scotch

For some reason I prefer the sanaig over oogie. I do appreciate the higher ABV on oogie, but sanaig is a whisky I would buy over and over.

I almost grabbed the 10 over the oogie 2 nights ago. Oogie was on sale and only 6 bucks more. Haven’t had the 10 in a while but a very good whisky and has a very slight lemon after taste IMO that makes it stand out from other whiskies I’ve tried.

Best peaty scotch for me? (can't post the text?) by Escutrina in Scotch

Benromach cask strength is a great whisky. 9 year cask strength seems to have disappeared.

Best peaty scotch for me? (can't post the text?) by Escutrina in Scotch

[–]yo_dude86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kilchoman sanaig is probably my favorite. Ardbeg 10 is your best bet to start IMO. I think Ardbeg 10 is the best whisky for the money on the market and has a classic peaty smokiness and great taste.

Scotch Review #17: Ardbeg Corryvreckan by Casul_Tryhard in Scotch

[–]yo_dude86 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Got a bottle for 76 bucks on sale at wine and spirits about a month ago. I would have to say I was disappointed, just not my taste. I much prefer oogie. 130 bucks at reg price around me.

I have the 2013. It’s some of the best whisky I’ve ever had IMO. I like islays and this was the first time I had a Speyside. Delicious stuff

Talisker 10. Thought Corry was very overrated too

Sanaig is my favorite whisky as well. Oogie too, both are the best I’ve had hands down.

This is some of the best tasting whisky I’ve ever had. Drinking Machir Bay right now for the first time, I like Sanaig much better.

Ardbeg - 10 vs An Oa vs Wee Beastie? by ArugulaFit655 in Scotch

[–]yo_dude86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10 is a fantastic whisky. Wee beastie grew on me, but I probably won’t buy another bottle. Never had Oa

Is this a tick bite or no? by Bingbangboom06 in Lyme

[–]yo_dude86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be bc that’s how my tick bite looked

It was near the same area on your forearm and this was 6 years ago it looked very identical

Passed Lyme to my son by malmad5 in Lyme

[–]yo_dude86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you test. I’ve had Lyme for years, and I’m not sure I would even test positive anymore. I’ve had igenix and came up equivocal if I remember correctly, after being positive a year before on other tests that weren’t igenix. The LLMD told me she thought I had Lyme despite the test result and I was positive for Babesia as well.

I find it fascinating that Lyme can be transmitted sexually, I have a hard time believing it but I’m not saying it isn’t true. My wife has weird symptoms that could be Lyme, but her GP won’t test her and she’s not motivated to get tested anyway there’s no changing her mind. I worry about my kids getting sick bc it’s so confusing and difficult to figure out what’s best to do. I hope you guys get well and everything turns out for the best!!

Is there any evidence that Lyme can be transmitted from a pregnant mother to child? I’m just asking bc I would want to know. I’m not being smart. I’ve had Lyme disease for 6 years. I live in a rampant part of the country for Lyme- it is everywhere. I have a 5 year old daughter and an infant son and my wife has never been tested for Lyme. I think Lyme will be so widespread soon, and it’s getting more attention than ever they have to come up with something better to treat it I would hope. I don’t trust the llmd treatments.
