Premium Member Symptoms of Paralysis Tick bite !!!

Four years ago, awakened from deep sleep
in the middle of the night
Room was spinning wildly 
body wracked with fright

Then later on that same night 
a little further down the track
A second episode !! What the hell is going on ??
Why is this body out of whack ??

Next morning vertigo !!
struggling just to walk and feeling rather sick
Three days later, large lump above the ear
and there embedded a much engorged nasty paralysis tick

Took four months, vertigo gradually abated ,full health finally resumed
That's how long it took after tick it was exhumed

Six months ago, a tick embedded in the shoulder blade
that's where it nestled so some blood it could ingest
One month later and after tick removal, tightening of the muscles
all way down the back , plus muscles and soreness of bones, that surround the chest

Following paralysis tick bites there does exist
a dis-eased  state in the body , has  title of Lyme
Not recognised in Australia, have experienced Lyme symptoms 
after paralysis tick bites, each and every time

Checked the on line library once again, re this subject Lyme
re cause of symptoms that have been endured
And how to overcome Lyme affliction
have found an antidote, feeling much assured

Codolepsis root includes substance quinine, 
available in tincture form
Tonic water also  flavoured with quinine,
takes a week or so for body to regain a state of norm

Now also use preventative, citronella oil to distract paralysis tick
extracted from a native Aussie gum
Every day applied prior to venturing out
upon the head, the upper body, don't forget to do the bum!!

And just two days ago another bloody tick below citronella oil
 and embedded in the pubic hair
Applied clove oil, my wife  with the tweezers, 
performed extraction OUCH !!!!  whilst I was seated on a chair

Cash-Memo

it is circulated deep into the soil 
that you’ve wore the dress of paraffin 

in the multidimensional wind of the winter 
the cash-memo of the recently purchased 
gold-bangles 
would reside for some time more 

then all the pregnant women 
would assemble in the river-ghat 
to meditate on the paddy-blossoms 

all diamonds and clubs 
would overcome their insomnia

through this arrangements
the crushing-news of fostering 
flows 

this dilution is well-known 

the river-ripple of the air 
after reading the sun 
would keep some extension of dahlia 
on its palms 

in an unwritten evening 
the demi-god-birth of the fire-flies 
would break

their easy dead bodies 
by the instigation of the surges 
would  ring … and ring… and ring
and spread cheerfulness
 
 
the elderly rain-tree comes to spray anti-biotic 
on the spoilt top-branch of the young lad 
covered with citronella

o repel bees naturally, use strong scents they dislike, like peppermint, citronella, clove, or eucalyptus oils, in sprays or candles, or plant herbs like basil, mint, and lavender nearby; household items like vinegar, cinnamon, or cucumber peels also work by placing them in problem areas to mask attractants or create unpleasant odors.
he got on his hands and knee's and said his name was Fido...He began using the belt sander to strip the floor. Agressive matrail removal, he said Fido can do-it! Fido does jobs that Orbitail sanders can't do! Fido can do! My name is Fido! Sje wore a mini skirt and sat at the table while I was Belt sanding under it! What to say? Huh, whats to say? I barked cause my name is Fido. Fido the belt sander man. She passed me a note with her number on it!
I barked again because I am Fido, Fido the belt sander man. what beautiful colors the cottons with lace, barked Fido the belt sanding man. Beautiful, so beautiful: what's else to say but: I am Fido the belt sanding man.
He was Captain on the Pantoon under the bridge when the guy proposed to his lover. The woman was there to fit the poteinal bride and groom. A beautiful day.

Premium Member The Real Story

Single slippered Cinderella
Yesternight’s ball bella
Angelic voices heard a cappella
Followed by lovely clarabella

The dinner served was paella 
With a side of shredded mozzarella 
While faking a case of salmonella
Cinderella invited her fella
To follow her into the cella

Lingering aroma of citronella
With a pleasant tinge of canella
No secrets told near mimicking corella
Misplacing both shoe and umbrella



[ Clarabella = instrument much like a flute; Cella = a room in a temple; Corella = a cockatoo ]
