the rash is classic: red spot in a circular field of splotchy pink. an unseen tick has left its calling card, sending me in a telemedical panic to my doctor, who is on vacation. the doc on-call doesn’t know me and asks for photographic proof, so I push aside modesty and my right nipple and aim my iphone, quid pro quo for doxycycline to be taken by mouth 2X daily, the only man-made defense against the nature’s duality, tonic and toxic, and to me, siren’s song; irresistible.

Robby! I love Ralph's drawing of a spirochete. Sweet version of some nasty little buggers. I'm feeling a tad ache-y but so grateful I caught it early. Thanks!
Hope that Doxy fortifies ya’! 🤞Damn ticks.
