The Final Tick Jab

As I had posted last summer, we went for shots to protect us from tick-borne encephalitis, or TBE. This week was the last of the injection series for all of us, so we're protected from that disease at least.

Margaret told me this week that she hasn't had the shots at all, which makes me feel like a bit of a wuss.

Whoa! I didn't at all mean to make you feel like a wuss, I'm the one feeling negligent! Luckily we don't have ticks on our type of property but certainly they're all over the island and now that I'm gonna be a regular at YOUR house...
Looks like I've gotta go get jabbed.

Hi! I think it's the sensible choice :-) Our neighbor just found out he has Borelia The shots don't work for Borelia, you get antibiotics, but it show's that there are lot's of ticks around!

If you get TBE and you had not injection, you will feel much worse than a wuss. You would want to feel like a wuss if you get TBE!
