###Rules:

Please don't be a dick. We're a supportive community, so even if you don't necessarily agree with someone's point of view, please say so politely and don't attack anyone personally.
Please refrain from posting personal information, even if it's your own.
Please do not post links to fundraisers. We know that you care about your friend, but you're posting in a forum of people going through the exact same thing with the exact same financial troubles. You're not going to get donations from people struggling with paying for their own medical treatment.
Use the stickied megathread for tick bite pictures. Do not create a new post.
