Now if I receive a "warning" or something that looks suss, I never send it on until I've checked it out for myself. Eight times out of ten they turn out to be hoaxes, and I simply delete the hoax ones.

Family and I went island camping on river here with boat for long weekend of floundering and fishing. we camped for 3 mights...primative style no bathrooms etc... tied bells on my twos little ones shoes so i could hear if they got out of my sight etc etc.
so we get back home and bath time for kids. oldest and youngest share bath both girls anyways all the sudden i hear this loud scream that tunred into a cry. I ran inot bathroom and my little one is crying mommy there is a big spider in my belly button . The oldest is up on the toilet seat half freaking out over spider in little sis belly button. well it was a tick stuck right in there starting to get fat . I about died .
I never had any of us tested for lyme. I guess i should look into it and find out symptoms and the info on it. this was when she was 3 she is now 14. can it hide and get you years later that lyme illness? I will have to check it out
thought youd like that story tho
