Photographer's Description

Last month my daughter recovered from Meningitis disease that was caused by tick bite: On regular summer day our 7 years old daughter was playing on backyard, and was running around neighborhood playground chasing other kids. Later, after day nap she complained about pain and itching under her arm. We didn't see the tick on her skin, suspecting mosquito or tiny spider but bite area was big and red. Next morning, bite area turned nasty looking yellowish with reddish edge. I rushed her to our pediatrician, who suspected spider, gave her antibiotic and anti-itching cream. Bite area started losing redness, but didn't completely clear even after full course of antibiotic. Following week’s school nurse was applying anti-itching cream on bite area almost every day. 2 weeks after bite, my daughter started complaining about strong headache, shoulder pain, refused to get out of bed. We rushed her to emergency room of hospital. Doctor told "Lyme disease" after 1st look, and called intensive therapy department team for inpatient. Blood test was taken and couple hours came back with positive for Meningitis and Lyme disease. Pick line was inserted into her little arm, delivering antibiotic. 2 days later she felt much better. After full course of pick line antibiotic (28 days) fully recovered. Lucky we, that my daughter finally was treated by well qualified doctors… Bills that we will pay out of pocket are mounting already and are over $3000. This is despite Signa Family PPO insurance that that covers 75% of expenses. --Post story-- Last week, after 3 hours of search in local park grass, I found the small North American Ixodidae family member. I got couple photos on the grass where it was waiting for passing mammal: deer, rabbit, squirrel, ground hog, fox or human. It was trying to reach macro lens and cowl on me to eat - suck my blood. After successful photo session tick was killed by photographer by squishing it between nails. It ticked.
