Well, that was interesting. You can only imagine the puns running through my head, but in the interests of your ongoing recovery, I am just going to say that I’m glad you’re doing better, and perhaps you should be in touch with Larry Todd. He is Mr Tick as far as I’m concerned. If there is more to be learned about these little critters, Larry is the man!
Well done! (the writing, not getting the tick). Hope your recovery is full, does not sound like fun, but at least it inspired a good post.
Thanks Michael! Turning misfortune into entertaining content is a core skill of any writer, so I'm glad to have pulled it off.

Larry says around 1 in 3 ticks in that region carry Colorado Tick Fever. I got bit by 3, 1 of which was embedded for quite some time. So I was doomed.
