Tick Fever

I am lying in bed in the main house so that I am not bothered by anyone, and I can rest and recover from my recent attack of tick fever.

I have had a serious attack of tick fever that left me totally exhausted, with a swollen spleen and liver and unable to stomach any food.

Tiktac was finally used to completely soak me in it as all the bathing in cal can and other shampoos just did not permanently do the job. The ticks just dropped after the Ticktac application, and then on Monday, both Megha and I were taken to the vet where we both had a series of injections, with me getting the mega doses as I was really suffering and Megha was about to get worse, as he had yet to get the full blown symptoms though his spleen too was a little swollen.

So now I am on a twice daily dose of vitamin liquid and two pills, with one being Microdot that will hopefully kill the microorganism that is now in my blood stream that the ticks injected into me by sucking a lot of my blood.

I am beginning finally to get an appetite after having lost about 3kg and down to skin and bone.

The place is now sprayed with a repellent to prevent ticks from entering and we are both inspected every day to see if there are fleas or ticks. The problem is that the cowshed is not too far away and where ever there are cows, there are ticks.

We will both have to be very careful hitherto as another attack can drastically affect our immune systems and ability to fight off any diseases.

Now we are getting a good dose of fish along with probiotic yoghurt hoping to get our stomachs and intestines full with good bacteria in order to digest our food intake properly.

So I hope shortly we can give you a few healthy pic of our frolicking.
