Transcript

Welcome to the doctors today. Yesterday, I got ready to go out with my friend. And then when I went and got changed, I found a blister about this big right here. Like, I'll show you, like, a little bit of it. It's a perfectly circular blister, and I have quite literally zero idea of where it's come from. I haven't had a sunbed. I haven't dropped anything perfectly circular on myself, so I made an appointment at the doctors because I do not like to be sick. I'm back from the doctors. I am in shock of what I've just been told. This is a tick bite. Not just a normal tick. No. A tick that has Lyme disease. I have Lyme disease. What? It never actually goes away? I went on a dog walk and I got bit by a tick with Lyme disease, and now I have Lyme disease. What? I have Lyme disease.
