How a bug so small could create such misery is beyond belief.These papers are copyrighted. The disease hit me in the midst of a pheasant hunting trip in South Dakota, and by the time I returned home I had a fever hovering around 104 degrees and a headache that didn't leave me for a year. I found out later that I had suffered a bout with ehrlichiosis. Even though the pest was never detected by me, just the bite gave me an illness that I'll never forget. I personally suffered from one of those a number of years ago after erecting my deer stand in our woods. Not so with the deer tick that arrived without much fanfare and decided to make a year of it.ĭeer ticks have been proven to carry diseases that are not kind. It was common knowledge that wood ticks cycled out during the summer and were not to be seen during the cold weather months. Mothers body checked their kids every day and picking ticks off pets was a daily chore. I learned from other natives that ticks were a common occurrence and no real worry was expressed concerning one's health. Wood ticks were considered relatively harmless at the time except for the bite and itch they created. That was a time before the deer tick was introduced to this area where I now abide. It took me a week to completely rid myself. Only when I returned to our cabin did I notice that I was covered with the blood-sucking critters. I didn't notice the tick army at the time because we were pulling brightly colored brook trout from the stream.
