Loretta Holscher 02-12-2007 02:24 PM RE: February 8, 2007 - Sister Rosita Goes to Africa Hi, In December of '05, our son, Michael, made a trip to Kenya. He strayed of the beaten path, while on the "rough style safari", through some high grass and was bit by a mosquito. He did not think much of it, until he arrived home and became ill. Please tell Sister Rosita that if she has symtoms, similar to Lyme's disease, she may have Ricketsia (?sp). Our son was seen by 20 Doctors in NY City before they figured it out. Antibiotics are indicated for this and there is no immunization as far as I know. Just a heads up based on my son's suffering. I pray that she does well. You can never have too much information. Love, Loretta Holscher Thanks for the blog idea.... I think it's great!
