Itchy and Scratchy

.....is not just the name of a fairly weird cartoon. It is also the state I find myself in.

The kangaroo tick bites are getting quite unpleasant. Initially I thought I had dodged the bullet, as I had no symptoms at all while in West Australia. Now I find lots of very itchy bumps all over.

I kept finding new ticks for days after our trip to Gingin, and even found a few new ones after arriving in Brisbane. They were a bit engorged, and had probably jumped on just before I left WA.

This does not portend well. I've been told that the itching goes on for weeks. I could use a good scritching.....
