Got bit by a tick and got a bad fever, sweats, weakness etc. Slept since mid Saturday for the most part. Catch up with you all soon.
Pretty sure it’s rocky mountain spotted fever

Is there medication for it, or does it have to run its course?

Did they put you on doxycycline?

Prayers and best vibes sent for a speedy recovery. That sounds like some serious business. If you don’t kick that fever in a few days, better get to a Doc. peace

Oh that’s a great one. Really nice smoke, and very easy to grow. Mine had little stretch and put on some good sized flowers even though I had her in a smaller pot. Delicious bubble gum aromas.

Oh no, so sorry to hear! Hope you can get some antibiotics quickly. A good friend got bitten recently, had symptoms, and recovered pretty fast after getting treatment.

Sure did kick my ass for a bit. I’m up and around more today.
Just sleep and rest. I had my fill with pharmaceuticals and now I’d have to be about dead to take anything again. Nothing against antibiotics but I think they are overprescribed. My plan was to take extra garlic if I needed to, but to give my immune system a chance first. We grow a lot of garlic and four cloves is equal to a dose of penicillin. ( the Allicin in garlic is an antibiotic) I wasn’t able to eat for a few days but once I could, our normal household diet contains tons of garlic. (My wife will throw a whole bulb in with our potatoes for dinner)
It still comes on occasion but it’s getting more infrequent.
That was my back up plan and @Tejas thats what is recommended. You have five days after infection before you should get on it and today’s day 5/6. Typically I wait till the last minute before going to a doctor. I’ve been a handful of times in thirty years.
Thanks everyone for the well wishes. I hated being away. I barely managed to take care of the plants since friday so as you can imagine I have some work to catch up on, So I won’t be on here as much as I would like for a little while. Or maybe I will post A bit and hold off on replying to messages til caught up. I have fifty messages to reply to.

The good news is I have three Old Silversides plants. Stem resin just as thick as I remember.
I’ll get some pictures.
The 71 Panama Red are looking very nice, and i’m going to pollinate tonight. @GREANDAL Your plants are looking beautiful And I started cracking up when I saw that picture from the kill bill movies. Good one😁. You mentioned a while back about the short plants and the tall plants. And I thought it was just age, but upon transplanting into the bigger pots, it didn’t make a difference. I think panama red is a hybrid, and it explains the short phenotypes and the tall phenotypes. The good news is I think it always was a hybrid. Even in 71. The smell is Absolutely uniform all across the board every female. This is definitely not a modern hybrid and it does not smell like snowhigh panama red. I had feared it could be a reproduction of double Panama. It isn’t. This seems stable too. I’d have to grow another couple generations and see if anything changes but for now, that’s what i’m thinking. The smell is delicious and the resin is great. I couldn’t tell you what was used with the lowland panama to make panama red, but it was something shorter, perhaps coming thru the canal. @MAHAKALA I think you are right.
I think there is a pure panama( lowland Colombian) and the only one in existence that I know of is the 74 red cross panama. But imo this is the one I have been looking for, and the one the hippies remember. The legendary Panama Red.
I think I finally found it! I’ll get some pictures for you guys. Easy growers. I have no idea what week flowering I am at right now, but they are getting juicy😁

@Upstate , I have issues just about everytime I get bite , my liver is pretty shot I don’t have insurance it’s borderline psurosis (I probably spelled that wrong) here recently I got bite by a “not usual” looking tick it was real dark with a bunch of white spots and as long as I catch them early it’s not so bad but I missed this one overnight at least when I got up the next day I felt like I got hit by a train muscles weak joints stiff and hurting so I took my morning herbs I do this everyday 2teaspoons ashwaganda, 1 level teaspoon green kratom, and some milk thistle extract caps the medicine is in the seeds they can be cracked and steeped but I got pills and you don’t got time to wait but I knew that wasn’t going to be enough so I went out to the garden and dug some fresh dandelion root and ate it like a carrot didn’t even wash it off just knocked it off real good and chased it with cold coffee 
after that it seemed like every hour it got a little easier to just be then the next hour I could move a little better then another hour the hot chills stopped oh and I did another ashwaganda and kratom shot 3 hours after the first and another 4 hours after that helps push though good luck bro keep a eye on your hands and feet every morning check them for red spots or lines if you find them a doctor trip is necessary that’s what I do and if thats not enough astrogilis with reishi mushroom tincture on top of all the rest will just about knock out anything:) if it doesn’t work let me know because I got to write it down, it’ll be the first time:) just saying good luck and God bless

A couple of THmex. I love the branching on these. Originally from Tom Hill years back and he said it was something special. Kushyman did a repro from just a few seeds.
A couple of Zacatecas that @Hyp3 generously shared with me.
And my new mother of ‘93 AllStar from @Som is rooted and thriving. Should be ready for cuttings in the next few weeks.
