Man that sucks! I wish I was still in the area, I could eat all of your wild hog for you. Well I would even drink your beer, if you are still having problems with that. If not, then I would bring beer, so you could relax, and watch me eat the wild boar. Of course, you would have to cook it on the grill, with some of that lemon juice on it. But seriously, I hope you can kick it. Side kick maybe. I was back in the Petersburg national park, when I was younger, and was showing a friend of mine, the park, that is next to Fort Lee, when I was stationed there, a LONNNNG time ago, and after we went through there, we went to a restaurant and I went into the bathroom, and after washing up, I was grooming my mustache, and felt what I thought was a scab! But when I picked at it, I was able to pull it off, and it was tick! Never had a problem with it, just a little red spot, where it was. But, I dropped my drawers, and checked every nook and fanny, I mean cranny, but thankfully there were no more. I told her, and her friend to go check themselves. I hate those things, and you seldom feel them crawling on you. I do hope you can over come this crap, good luck with it. Is it a viral thing, or parasite? If a parasite, you might go for sushi, and eats lots of the pickled ginger. Ginger kills the parasite, Anasarkas, and it's eggs also. That is the parasite that is commonly found in raw fish. I use ginger, on my cats Walmart brand tuna in water, that I feed him, and he stays parasite free, and has healthy, eyes, and shiny fur. Anyway, good luck Buddy, hate to hear that. Come on out, and see if Elk will cause you any problems. Take care.
