[pct-l] ticks and Lyme Disease

["Marge Prothman" <margepr@cyberhighway.net>]

I carry in my first aid kit for Bulls eyes Tick Bites
  Doxycycline Hycate 50mg  The first day take 2 every 12 hrs. then 100mg the
next day  1 every 12 hrs.
I have yet to have a tick on my body, I don't seem to attract them here in
the N.W.  I figure an ounce of prevention is worth it and I don,t carry the
entire bottle with me but leave half in my drift box.
