OMG!!! He did say there was a side effect (don't remember exactly what)that was found only in North or South Carolina - they thought maybe something in the soil so whatever it was we didn't have to worry about that side effect.
We live on 4 acres deep in the woods and have a lot of ticks - my guess is if they noted from the autopsy any bites he had at least 5-6 on him (they made bad reactions and he kept the spots for months). I myself have had six this year and they itch for months. My daughter has had about 10 on her - 5 in one day. They are really bad this year!! He had one since chemo and radiation that he left on for a while so it would suck the chemo and kill it. He was curious if it would suck his blood and die.
