Senator Chuck Schumer of New York is being treated for a tick bite after he was traipsing around some dams. He noticed a tick on him and a bulls-eye marking which is indicative of early Lyme’s disease and is now receiving a course of antibiotics to prevent the disease.
I don’t know how he became infected because the tick would have died immediately upon biting him and being exposed to the poison the flows through his veins.
