This is not a Canon 80D photo :-)

A short while ago I noticed an insect bite but didn't think more of it. It has been hot here, insects start flying around and some of them bite! A few days later I had a big, red ring around the bite mark. Turns out I've had a tick I hadn't noticed and it was infected with the borrelia bacteria and now I have them too :-)

I'm on antibacterial meds the next two weeks and I don't want to carry a big, heavy DSLR with big, heavy lenses around so I'll just use whatever camera I can take with me in my pocket or a small bag while I'm out walking.
What a great shot! I love the color blocks!
We have a lot of ticks in Vermont, it's a serious problem and people get Lyme disease among all the diseases ticks can propagate.
Wishing you a full and quick recovery.

Holy smokes! I just read de story... that's awful. I was listening to a doctor once and they were saying that only a small percent of the female ticks bear that bacteria. You were quite out of luck there. But still a lot of luck to find it out so soon. Sometimes the patient only finds out extremely late, as in 10 years from the bite moment. Take care!

Omw, that sure does not sound very good! Wishing you all the best and hope that you will have a speedy recovery. At least it was discovered in time.

Beautiful capture and scene, I love the windows.

@monikozi I have a good friend who almost lost her eyesight due to that! It was discovered six years after the bite :-(
