I'd been presuming that if I had it, I'd caught it in Georgia in the Army in '91. (Last I remembered, from vague info 15-20 years ago, it was nearly unknown west of the Rockies.) But I just learned tonight that Lyme-infected ticks have been found in most counties of California. So maybe I caught it during my major backpacking phase.
I just now went back through my LJ for the time before the pain got bad, late fall of '03, and I didn't even have the "flulike symptoms". I didn't in '91 either, and back then, I was paying attention, because I had ticks all over me. I'm definitely an atypical case.

My ROTC "deal" is getting less good by the minute, though. :/
