    I still remember the time I was like 17, hiking, and got bit by a tick just over my belt buckle, and a rash started to develop and the doctor was like “it’s a byproduct of an allergy to your belt” and prescribed me steroids. I basically begged for a Lyme disease test. If I didn’t get that test and those meds at the time (after testing positive for lyme), life would be way more fucked up right now
