Article I just read with some basic info and some small hope for future treatments.

I’ve had it twice, once from hiking in Sequoia National Park in CA and another time after my vehicle broke down off of 495 in Mass. Both were awful for me so I’m keenly interested in not catching again. Since the CA incident, I’ve never hiked in shorts again, nor will I.
The article states that the “leaves of 3” thing still holds true but I see shit like that all the time so I’m not confident in spotting it. It amazes me that we don’t have a stronger handle on treating cases after catching it.
