Pre-Flight
Well, got my ticket May 17 and by July 12 I had flow 51 hours. At about 40 hours, I flew up to a place and did some serious hiking in an area known for having lots of ticks. About two days later, on my return flight home, I felt like I had been hit in the back of the neck with a baseball bat and could swear I had been bitten by a tic. Trouble was, I had to go on a weeks business trip (commercial) so I didn't see the doctor until I got back. I had everyone I know look at my head for tics... my wife, my daughter, my haircutter, and then the doctor. No tics. But I had an infection that went down my neck.
Turns out those places on my head where I thought I had gotten bit weren't from tics at all... the metal button on my baseball cap and the ends of my sunglasses had rubbed my scalp raw given the extra pressure from my headset and a bacteria had worked its way in. I figured it out about the time I had finished the perscription. I have since removed said button.
