Exposed to tick infestation late May-July 3, 2014 while providing ECI home base services to a child at his home as per job responsibilities. On Jun 21, 2012 I presented to Brighton ECI Director/Deputy with ticks that were removed from my body after a home base visit earlier that day. Home base services were then terminated (July 7, 2012) with family and reported to Child Protective Service. In late June 2012 started to feel ill. After 16 months of specialist visits, several ER admissions and 3 separate hospitalization admissions, symptoms continued to progress and worsen and remained unresolved until a Lyme test was administered. On Jan 14, 2014 a Lyme's diagnosis was confirmed by Dr Patricia Salvato a Lyme's Disease literate.
