This is some nasty crap,Family friend went to the Doc after his shoulder pain just got to be to much to handle,thinking he had wrecked his shoulder from doing roofing jobs,he was amazed to find out there was a Tick stinger still buried under his skin. Long story short,he ended up wheel chair bound two months later. Lyme Disease is not to be ignored.
