Today, I received the following in an email. The writer asks a number of questions relating to his decision to go into mineral engineering. First I repeat the email, and then I set out my answers to his questions. If you too can help this fellow, please do so by commenting. Thanks.
I was recently accepted into the mineral engineering program at the University of Toronto. I've been following your blog for about a year, to get to know more about the industry. It's about the time of year in Canada when we have to start accepting university offers.
Your post "Should I Become a Mining Engineer" was great! The stats back that up too, seeing as how its one of your more popular postings. But I was wondering if you could flesh it out a bit. Maybe some more concrete information. I'd like to know your opinion:
– Do you think it's worth it to get a P.Geo (professional geologist) designation as well as the P.Eng?
– What do you think the impact of computers/artificial intelligence/robots/automation will be on the profession? Have you seen the Jeopardy! episode where that supercomputer Watson beats the human competitors?
– What is a typical day like for a engineer-in-training/junior engineer?
– What are the drawbacks of living in a remote mining site? What are the benefits?
– Do you know of any mining engineers that don't like their jobs? Why?
– Why do you like mining engineering so much? Why is the work interesting to you?
– I'm a bit older than most undergrads (24 years old). Do you think being older is going to be a drawback in the new graduate job market?
Thank you in advance!
Here are some of my comments, thoughts, and answers to the questions posed.
I see no point in getting a P. Geo as well as a P. Eng. Both are honorable professions. But there are many differences. It is hard enough to keep abreast of things in engineering, as it is. It is hard enough to keep abreast of things in geology, as it is. To try to keep abreast of things in both engineering and geology, so that you maintain proficiency in both, is probably beyond most of us. I suggest that when young, it is best to choose one and focus on that. There is plenty of challenge in growing as an engineer or geologist without tying to straddle both. Inevitably life will take you in one direction or another and a broad educational background, while fun and valuable, will ultimately be swamped by the need to do specialist things in the line of work that fate dictates.
I started my career at a time when there were no computers. Now they are everywhere. But they have had no significant impact on what it takes to be a professional. Just like the old engineers from whom I learnt, I still have to get basic information; I still have to visit the site; I still have to think and exercise judgment. Experience is still more valuable than computer screen perusal. Of course computers and robots and artificial intelligence (such as it is) are used. But only to get more data, to undertake faster analyses, and to augment judgment. Personally I do not think they have changed what it takes to be a good engineer, and I do not think they ever will.
There is no such thing as a typical day for an engineer-in-training. It all depends on where you are, what you are asked to do, how you approach it, and what those around you do to teach, exhort, and challenge you. Some EITs are put in front of a computer and told to compute, for it is apparent they cannot and never will be able to do more. Some EITs are run ragged involved in every detail of a project for it is apparent they can do it, they thrive on it, and they produce, adding value at every step.
The drawbacks of living in a remote camp are that you are in a remote camp. You are away from the bright lights, the sports field, the pub, and the infinite variety of friends you find in cities. The benefits, at least to a young engineer, are higher salary, lower living costs, greater challenge and opportunity to learn and shine.
I have never met a mining, civil, or any other type of engineer who does not actually like their job. They have all been content, happy, and productive. I have dealt with some younger engineers wo have left engineering for finance and investment. They did it because they believed they could make more money that way; and they have—at least until the market collapsed and some came back into engineering. I have met many an engineer who has moved around and moved on. Most of us have left behind one or more jobs. Sometimes we were glad to leave that job—but we always moved on to another engineering job and greater job and life satisfaction. Keep in mind there are always somewhere messed up companies and nasty bosses. If you find yourself in such a company or working for such a boss—leave. As an engineer there are plenty of other nicer places and people to go and work with. You are not trapped in an unhappy situation–or at least should not be.
I like engineering and mining engineering because that is what I do, it is what I do well, it is what gives me a good income, it takes me around the world, I work with nice and intelligent people, I face interesting challenges, and I see something for it at the end of each day. How could I want more? I would do it all again given the choice.
I do not think being 24 years old is an issue. I hung around university for eleven years. It was fun and easy and the girlfriend was there. So I was about 27 when I got my first real job as an engineer. At this age (65) the age at which I started is irrelevant. So too it will be for you.
Good luck with your career.

You are here: NBIA HomeSuccess StoriesIncubation SensationsStereotaxis
Company headquarters: St. Louis
Incubator: Center for Emerging Technologies
Entered incubator: 1998
Graduated: December 2005 (Scheduled)
Employees: 140
Revenue: $18.8 million (FY 2004)
2004 wasn't exactly a banner year for Initial Public Offerings, but don't tell that to the leaders of Stereotaxis, a medical device company in St. Louis. In August 2004, the client of the Center for Emerging Technologies went public.
Stereotaxis has developed a system that allows surgeons to more effectively guide cardiac catheters, guidewires and stents through blood vessels and the heart using computer-controlled, externally applied magnetic fields. This process has proven attractive to cardiac catheterization labs throughout the United States and Europe because it requires less-invasive (and less-costly) surgery.
Stereotaxis has placed 30 systems worldwide, and company officials expect sales to increase as its reputation, name recognition and success stories grow. The company already has partnered with several major companies in the cardiac catheterization market, including Siemens Medical Solutions, Philips SA, and Biosense Webster Inc., a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson.
These initial successes — while the company is still an incubator client — have served it well. Despite a tough economy, Stereotaxis' IPO raised $44 million by selling 5.5 million shares of common stock at $8 a share, and the company's stock reached $12.67 per share in September 2004.
Bill Simon, CET vice president and chief operating officer, says Stereotaxis' ability to go public in a struggling economy is a testament to the strength of the company's management team and its medical devices. "Stereotaxis had a very strong, very real IPO," he says. "If they had gone public a few years earlier [during the dot-com era], their initial stock prices would have been much higher. Even so, their stock prices are 25 percent higher now than when they had their IPO."
Although Stereotaxis' management team includes several experienced fund-raisers (the company has raised more than $200 million during its lifetime), CET has played an important role in helping the company grow in other ways. "They're very good at raising money, so we didn't want to get in their way there," Simon says. "But we have helped take their expansion headaches away. We offer them a secure data network and a flexible phone system that can grow with them."
When Stereotaxis first entered the incubator in 1998, the company occupied 3,000 square feet of space. Today, Stereotaxis has offices on each floor of CET's two buildings (five floors total), totaling 29,000 square feet of space. The company is scheduled to move out of the incubator and into a new biotechnology facility currently under development in St. Louis in December.

Verizon Wireless Confirms $2 Fee for Making One-Time Payments

Man, so when I go to the VZW website, pay with my VISA, it's okay to charge an extra $2?
I think I'll just queue up in a VZW store and pay that way. Pay cash. In nickels.
I wasn't really saying whether it was ok or not, but if you go to the VZW website and pay with your credit card, Verizon is charged a fee by your Visa/Mastercard/etc. for that transaction. Verizon either has to suck it up and eat it or charge you for it.
I like the nickel approach but don't carry it too far . I remember a recent well publicized case where a guy walks into a business and dumped a whole bunch of change everywhere hitting the employees. He was arrested

Dome Spacing
I will lay my floor this week for a 36" low vault oven. Using low/med duty yellow firebrick for the floor and dome.
The dome will sit around the floor instead of resting on the edge.
Any ideas on how much of a gap to leave between the floor edge and the dome?
Re: Dome Spacing
I pretty much butted mine up close. Due to the irregularities of the radius cut, you get a little wiggle room by default.

Record number of Iraq, Afghanistan veterans head to Congress
A record 16 veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan were elected to Congress on Tuesday night and two more veterans remained locked in races Wednesday that were too close to call.
The victories are the largest single wave of former service members heading to Congress since the 1980s, according to Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA).
They represent "a huge step forward for the new veterans movement and a huge step forward for America," Paul Rieckhoff, founder and chief executive officer of of IAVA, told NBC News.
"What we've seen from this community is an extraordinary focus on country as well as some pragmatic solutions. We believe these folks can work together across party lines and be a shot in the arm in Washington — exactly what America needs right now," said Rieckhoff, who served as a first lieutenant and infantry rifle platoon leader in Iraq during 2003 and 2004.
Read more from NBC News about the veterans elected Tuesday, including nine first-time officeholders and seven incumbents.

Photo of truck dragging American flag stirs questions about flag etiquette
Photo sent in by viewer Monday morning
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - A photo sent by a 23ABC viewer Monday morning showed a janitorial staffing truck dragging an American flag.
The photo which was of an ABM truck had angered the viewer, who originally thought the employee was being disrespectful towards the flag.
After making calls to ABM, 23ABC found out what appeared to be an American flag was actually a truck's tailgate strap.
The janitorial staffing company explained that the strap was only put in a few weeks ago after someone had stolen the original one.
Dick Taylor of the Kern County Veteran Service Department said that although the tailgate strap should be taken off, it does not violate the U.S. Flag Code of Conduct.
"Articles of clothing, decals on vehicles, in this case, a piece of a tailgate fall outside those (U.S. Flag Code of Conduct) parameters," Taylor said.
A veteran himself, Clark said he didn't feel offended when he saw the photo.
"The intent was probably good for the owner, unfortunately, some people took offense to that. I suspect that they wanted nothing but good to come out of it," Clark said.
In statement to 23ABC from ABM, the company apologized for the incident.
"We are as shocked as anyone to see this image. While we recognize that the employee's intent may have been a good one and this is a standard tailgate purchased at a major auto supplier, the use of the flag in this way is not at all reflective of our company and not consistent with our policies or practices. We are replacing the item with appropriate equipment immediately and will act to prevent this from ever happening again."

The Scots dominated, particularly in the second half, but missed several good chances before being given a lesson in finishing by the Finns, who scored twice in the last five minutes.
The home side went ahead in the 15th minute, but when Kim Little equalised midway through the second half a Scotland win looked likely. Instead, Finland regained the lead in the 85th minute and added a third before the end.
"The scoreline doesn't reflect the way the game was played, but it's the result that counts," said Anna Signeul, the Scotland coach. "We need to improve our finishing and defending. We have to be sure we learn from this, but at least it happened when we are still in pre-season training."

Triple the excitement
Brad Lindberg Staff Writer

September 19, 2013
A Farms patrolman is going to be a father for the third, fourth and fifth time all at once.
His wife is expecting male triplets in January by caesarean section.
The forthcoming trio, plus the couple's two sons, make five boys.
"I'll have enough boys for my own basketball team," said Officer Antonino Trupiano.
Trupiano and his wife, Kristina, a registered nurse at Detroit Receiving Hospital, weren't planning additions to their family.
"When I learned she was pregnant, I thought we were having one," Trupiano said. "Then, we thought it was twins. I was like, 'Oh God, twins.'"
Then, they learned it was triplets.
"It is what it is," Trupiano said. "It's going to be a lot of fun."
They learned the sexes at a party in which their friends, in cahoots with doctors, revealed the genders by baking three cakes with batter dyed blue.
"One of our neighbors baked the cakes," Trupiano said. "We cut them open and found out with everybody else."
The couple married in 2004. Their sons are age 7 and 2. Kristina always wanted four children.
"I wanted two," Trupiano said. "It's a nice compromise."
He plans to transfer from the afternoon to midnight shift so he can be home days for his share of hands-on parenting.
"The next four or five years are going to be rough," Trupiano said.
He'll savor them all.
He remembers vividly bringing his first newborn son home from the hospital.
"It was like yesterday," Trupiano said. "My oldest says he wants to be a police officer. We'll see. It's a rough lifestyle."
Trupiano earned a departmental life saving award in 2012 for helping restore a woman's pulse.
He also conducts the department's child safety seat classes.
Upcoming births means he's suddenly outgrown his new minivan.
"I never thought a minivan was going to be too small," Trupiano said. "I can't fit all three safety seats side-by-side. We'll probably buy a Yukon XL or Suburban."

MICE have been made resistant to HIV by sabotaging a gene that makes white blood cells vulnerable to the virus. The cells can no longer make CCR5, a surface protein that the virus must attach to before it can infect the cell.
Researchers at Sangamo BioSciences in Duarte, California, used a virus to sneak a molecule called a zinc-finger nuclease (ZFN) into human T-cells. The zinc-finger part is designed to bind exclusively to the DNA sequence that makes up the gene for CCR5. The nuclease part, an enzyme, snips open that section of DNA and then "misrepairs" the damage in such a way that the cell can no longer make CCR5.
Half the mice received these modified human T-cells, and the other half received untreated ones. All the mice were infected with HIV. Six weeks later, mice given the modified T-cells were still resistant to the virus (Nature ...

For those battling depression, both cognitive-behavioral therapy and interpersonal psychotherapy have long been recognized as very effective means of overcoming depression. A new study printed in the British Journal of Psychiatry and published on PsychiatryOnline.org shows that differing personality traits can affect how responsive people are to these two main types of therapy. The researchers wanted to know if certain personality traits made treatment less effective. Their conclusion: the success of interpersonal therapy seemed to vary based on the individual's personality and temperament, while the success of cognitive-behavioral therapy showed no difference based on personality traits. This can help therapists further match clients with the best form of treatment not only for their struggles (e.g. depression), but their personality as well.

I agree that no single therapy approach will work for everybody but it is all about the human psyche and it differs from person to person which in turn is determined by a whole lot of factors…
surely this recognition will lead to much better therapy choices between doctors and patients

Gearbox senior producer Brian Burleson has lauded the graphical capabilities of Nintendo's Wii U console, telling Eurogamer that the studio's upcoming Aliens: Colonial Marines will look better on Nintendo's machine than on the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3.
While Burleson admitted that he is under orders from Nintendo not to discuss the Wii U's technical specifications, he described the Wii U as a "powerful machine," saying that the Wii U version of the game will be "better" than the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions, because of "more modern tech."
Burleson's comments echo those of Gearbox chief creative officer and Aliens: Colonial Marines director Brian Martel, who told Nintendo Gamer in April:
"The machine itself [the Wii U] will be one of the best-looking versions of the game…because they've got more RAM…They're late in the cycle, so they've got this really great processor."
Two months ago, a number of anonymous developers told GamesIndustry International that the Wii U doesn't have the graphical horsepower to compete with the PS3 and Xbox 360, despite being able to output HD video.
Burleson's and Martel's comments were also echoed by Gearbox president Randy Pitchford in his interview with GameSpot, in which he discussed why the Wii U version of the game is going to be the best looking.
Aliens: Colonial Marines will arrive worldwide on February 12, 2013, for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. A release date for the Wii U version of the game will be announced at a later date.

I dont read "sitting in a seat" as meaning standing on pegs either.
But when i read the HTA i also see this.
"motorcycle means a self-propelled vehicle having a seat or saddle for the use of the driver and designed to travel on not more than three wheels in contact with the ground, and includes a motor scooter, but does not include a motor assisted bicycle; (motocyclette)"
So it can be "seat or saddle"
No person shall drive a motor vehicle on a highway in a race or contest, while performing a stunt or on a bet or wager. 2007, c. 13, s. 21."
What if the cop thinks standing on the pegs is a stunt? Or he feels that standing on the pegs has the possibility of causing harm to the rider or someone else at the time?
That may not be the intent of the law and you and me may agree that it doesn't really say "standing" But if the cop on the side of the road disagrees or has read someplace else in HTA and feels it applies, what option do we have? We all know how well things go when you try and argue your case on the side of the road with a cop.

Preferred Stock Example Problem:
A yacht manufacturing company has issued perpetual preferred stock outstanding with a par value of $100 per share and a dividend yield of 8.8% of its stated value. If the appropriate interest rate for the company's preferred stock is 8.3%, how much is each share of preferred stock worth?
Calculate Cost of Preferred Stock Shares:
The company has perpetual preferred stock, so it pays a constant dividend forever. The preferred stock pays a dividend that is 8.804 of stated value.
Therefore, the constant dividend equals $100 x 0.088 = $8.80.
The value of perpetual preferred stock is the dividend payment divided by the required return, which in this case is given by the "appropriate interest rate."
= $8.80 / 0.083
= $106.0241, or $106.02
Each Share of Perpetual Preferred Stock is valued at $106.02

Iceland Design Center, Reykjavik Art Museum and Iceland Academy of the Arts introduce a lecture by industrial designer Mareike Gast on the possibilities of organic electronics on Thursday 22nd of September 8 p.m. at Hafnarhus. The title of the lecture is: Thin, flexible, colourful, transparent, foldable - the potentials of printed organic electronics from a designer's point of view. Electrically conductive or semi-conductive plastics can be printed just like normal ink. Therefore it is possible to print electronic circuits, solar cells, OLEDs, batteries and sensors almost like a newspaper. Organic electronics, being one of the most promising fields in material and technology research, are especially interesting for industrial designers since their new possibilities will not just change the products but also their handling, interaction and service completely. Suddenly electronic products can become flexible, transparent, colourful, foldable, ultra-lightweight, energy-autarkic and mobile.However, questions arise, like: Does a cheap technology like printing necessarily produce cheap disposables or how do printed high-end products look like? Can a flexible substrate like paper or foil with organic electronics be shaped with traditional methods and what is the result of that contrast? How does the user interact with flexible electronics? What if printed organic electronics are recyclable or bio-degradable? How do products function and look like that are custom-printed?The lecture gives an overview on the latest developments in printed organic electronics and shows the concepts based on this technology by design students from Burg Giebichenstein, Halle, where Mareike Gast taught as visiting professor in 2011.The lecture will take place in English, is free and open to all.

From 22 October, Clear Channel UK will support the Movember campaign by providing ad space on its Socialite network of hundreds of high-definition digital screens in urban pubs and bars for a three-stage advertising campaign to encourage both men and women to participate in Movember.
Men will be encouraged to become Mo Bros and grow moustaches throughout the month of November, raising sponsorship in the process.
Women can also get involved as Mo Sistas – supporters who can help by spreading the health message and encouraging men to live healthy lifestyles.
According to Clear Channel, this partnership represents the first time Movember has used out of home (OOH) advertising to raise awareness of the cause and Clear Channel UK will provide the charity with space for free.
Movember will aim to reach its key audiences at each stage of the campaign using different creative.
Matthew Dearden, chief executive of Clear Channel UK, said: "Our market-leading urban Socialite network of flexible digital advertising sites is the perfect format for Movember to deliver their innovative messaging to an engaged audience.
"The power of our unique network will ensure Movember's campaign reaches as many people as possible."
JC, co-founder of Movember, said: "We are humbled to have Clear Channel, who have been such a passionate Mo Crew over the years, generously give Movember its amazing spaces to have some fun with and create awareness for this year's campaign."
The news follows Clear Channel's recent hiring of Chris Pelekanou to the role of global commercial director.
Clear Channel was also one of the outdoor media owners who launched NFC enabled sites as part of Nestle's nationwide ad campaign.Follow @nickbatten2

The government's decision to transfer responsibility for safety on offshore rigs from the Department of Energy to the Health and Safety Executive is long overdue. Such a transfer was recommended, albeit in a minority report, by an official inquiry as long ago as 1980. But it has taken the longest inquiry in Scottish legal history, lasting 180 days, for the government to be convinced.
Lord Cullen, the Scottish judge who conducted the inquiry into the Piper Alpha disaster which killed 167 men two years ago, was clear in his recommendation that the HSE should be given responsibility for the safety of offshore oil workers. This time, the government has accepted the proposal with no debate, as both trade unions at the Labour Party have been pressing it to do.
The nub of the problem has always been that the Department of Energy had been given two roles. Its first, which ...

Take the plunge! Further your education. Don't wait 30 years to go back to school.
Do these words sound like promotional copy from a college brochure? No, actually, they're words of wisdom from a seasoned financial executive who just finished his Master's degree in management at College of Saint Elizabeth (CSE).
John R. McGovern, '12, has a stellar business career ... more than 25 years in finance for top companies including Avaya, Lucent Technologies, and AT&T before taking on the role of Chief Financial Officer for Strategic Products and Services, SPS, in Parsippany, N.J. Yet, he wanted more than an undergraduate degree in economics that he earned in 1980 from Kean University.
"I always thought at the some point I would really like to go back and teach in college," said McGovern. "I needed a master's to be qualified." So, in fall 2010, while serving as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer at Glowpoint, a cloud managed video services company based in Murray Hill, N.J., he enrolled in the Master of Science program in management at CSE. Just before completing his degree this past May, McGovern took on his role of chief financial officer and head of the IT department at SPS, a multi-vendor systems integrator serving businesses in the small/medium market to large Fortune companies.
"Graduate school was a lot different than I anticipated," says McGovern. "Before I started classes, I was concerned that with all my years of business experience, I would be bored, and/or smarter than the professors." But, that isn't the case at CSE, he says. "Most, if not all of my classes, had practical applications at my workplace – whether that was at Glowpoint, or now at SPS."
McGovern's path to CSE began right at home. As an adult student, his wife Diane finished her bachelor's degree in communication through the CSE Saturday program. "Before she knew it, she was done...her good experience encouraged me to follow her lead."
Now, through a combination of on campus and online courses, McGovern, too, finished his degree in less than two years. "It's been a great experience." he said. "It has not only helped me in my current career path, but laid the groundwork for new opportunities in my future."

'The Legend of 9/11:10 Years On'
Alexandra Bruce
Forbidden Knowledge TV
September 2, 2011
A legend is a traditional story sometimes popularly regarded as historical.
But unauthenticated.
This is the legend of 9/11.
More than 10 years ago, on a bright autumn morning, four murder weapons took off.
But from where?
They may have looked like normal Boeing planes. But we know as much about those weapons today when they took to the skies on that dreadful morning.
We know NOTHING about these planes.

Henry Medical Center (HMC) will offer a potentially life-saving screening for men, at no cost.The hospital will provide free prostate screenings on Sept. 11, from 9 a.m., to 2 p.m., in the hospital's Foundation Education Center, according to Michelle Nunnally, HMC public relations specialist. The hospital is located at 1133 Eagles Landing Parkway, in Stockbridge. Besides skin cancer, prostate cancer is the most common cancer in American men, and the second-leading cause of cancer death in males, behind lung cancer, said Nunnally. This year, approximately 217, 730 new cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed, and 32,050 men will die from it, according to statistics from the American Cancer Society. "Screening for prostate cancer is extremely important, because it is so common in men, and is highly curable when diagnosed in early stages," said Nunnally. Candidates for the free prostate screening must be male, age 40 or older, and must not have had a prostate screening in the past year, said Nunnally. Men wishing to be screened will have both a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test, and a digital rectal exam (DRE), she continued. Men who have blood in their urine, pain on urination, or difficulty urinating, are not candidates for the screening, and should see their physician, said Nunnally. The screenings are important, said Registered Nurse Vicky Ayers, the hospital's community educator. "We want to be able to provide this to the public," said Ayers. "We feel like it's important for men to [come] in and take care of themselves." The benefits of screening and early detection should not be discounted, she said. "This year, we are following the American Urological Association guidelines, which state that men should have a careful discussion about the benefits and risks of prostate screening, before deciding to screen [for prostate cancer]," said Ayers. A major obstacle preventing men from getting a prostate cancer screening is fear of the procedure, and fear of what the doctor may find, she said. How often a man would need a prostate cancer screening depends on a number of factors, including age, family medical history, race, and previous PSA levels, added Ayers. Pre-registration for the screening is required. To register, call (678) 604-1040, or go to www.henrymedical.com, and click on the free prostate screening link under "classes and events."

You've probably heard of Lyme disease. It's most common in the northeastern United States, the Pacific Northwest, and the northern midwestern states.
People get Lyme disease through tick bites. The disease is caused by a bacterium called Borrelia burgdorferi that's usually found in animals like mice and deer.
Ixodes ticks (also called black-legged or deer ticks) are a kind of tick that feeds on mice, deer, and other animals that carry Borrelia burgdorferi. When the tick feeds on infected animals, then bites someone, it can pass the bacterium on to that person.
You probably won't see it happening. Deer ticks are tiny, so it's very hard to see them. Immature ticks (called "nymphs") are about the size of a poppy seed. Adult ticks are about the size of a sesame seed.
It's easy to overlook a tick bite. Many people who get Lyme disease don't remember being bitten. The good news is that most tick bites don't lead to Lyme disease. But it still helps to know the signs of Lyme disease.
Lyme disease can affect different body systems, such as the nervous system, joints, skin, and heart. The symptoms of Lyme disease are often described as happening in three stages. Not everyone experiences all of these stages, though:
The rash sometimes has a characteristic "bull's-eye" appearance, with a central red spot surrounded by clear skin that is ringed by an expanding red rash. It also can appear as an expanding ring of solid redness. It's usually flat and painless, but sometimes can be warm to the touch, itchy, scaly, burning, or prickling. The rash may appear and feel very different from one person to the next, and it might be more difficult to see on people with darker skin tones, where it can look like a bruise. It expands over the course of days to weeks, and eventually disappears on its own. Along with the rash, a person may have flu-like symptoms such as fever, fatigue, headache, and muscle aches.
Having such a wide range of symptoms can make Lyme disease difficult for doctors to diagnose. Fortunately, there's a blood test that looks for evidence of the body's reaction to Lyme disease.
If you think you may be at risk for Lyme disease or a tick has bitten you, contact your doctor. Although conditions other than Lyme disease can cause similar symptoms, it's always a good idea to discuss them with your doctor. That way you can get further evaluation and treatment if necessary, before the disease progresses. This is especially true if you develop a red-ringed rash, prolonged flu-like symptoms, joint pain or a swollen joint, or facial paralysis.
There's no surefire way to avoid getting Lyme disease. But you can minimize your risk. Be aware of ticks when you are in high-risk areas. If you work outdoors or spend time gardening, fishing, hunting, or camping, take precautions:
If you use an insect repellent containing DEET, always follow the recommendations on the product's label and don't overapply it. Place DEET on shirt collars and sleeves and pant cuffs, and only use it directly on exposed areas of skin. Be sure to wash it off when you go back indoors.
No vaccine for Lyme disease is currently on the market in the United States.
Lyme disease is usually treated with a 2- to 4-week course of antibiotics. Cases of Lyme disease that are diagnosed quickly and treated with antibiotics almost always have a good outcome. A person should be feeling back to normal within several weeks after beginning treatment.
Lyme disease is not contagious, so you can't catch it from another person. But you can get it more than once from ticks that live on deer, in the woods, or travel on your pets. So continue to practice caution even if you've already had Lyme disease.
You should know how to remove a tick just in case one lands on you or a friend. First, don't panic. Your risk of developing Lyme disease after being bitten by a tick is only about 1% to 3%. On top of that, it takes at least 24 to 48 hours for the tick to transmit the bacteria that causes Lyme disease. (To be safe, though, you'll want to remove the tick as soon as possible.) This is why a daily tick check is a good idea for people who live in high-risk areas.
If you find a tick:
Tick bites don't usually hurt. That's part of the difficulty in knowing whether someone has Lyme disease. So be on the lookout for ticks and rashes, and call your doctor if you think a tick bit you.
