I had arranged an overnight stay for my department at work at Utö - an island in the Swedish archipelago. The was perfect it was warm and sunny. My colleagues sat down in the grass and took of some clothes to sunbath. I was careful not to sit down in the grass as I know it is a high risk for tick bites (fästing bett= Swedish). While the others were rolling around in the grass I stood up. We had an excellent stay. After coming back home I realised I had a really red round swollen area on one of by buttocks. What is that!? I went to the doctor´s and I had to show the good looking doctor my behind. Not a very comfortable situation. Well I sat on the bus on my way home and started to read the instruction and content of the drug. NO! It turned out I am allergic to one of the ingredients. So I had to return the next day to get Another drug. During the night a new red area had shown up. My groin had an oval red warm area. Back to the doctor (the same one) and I told him about the development. He now wanted to see my behind and groin! Oh no...here we go again..embarrassing...
I left with a new drug. It turned out that it helped me and I got well. But how did I get this bite? I thought long and hard...I think I know what happened. The only thing touching the grass was my leather bag. The leather bag was then placed in the bed and from there I must have been bitten. The next day was going to Greece for my summer vacation to get some sun BUT what did Mr Handsome say to me: With this drug you cannot be outside in the sun. So I spent two weeks under a towel buy the pool under an umbrella. I mean: Really!? Why me!?
