I am in west UK. We don't have any deer here. I didn't see deer until about 10 years ago when I visited the south, and I had been sick about 10 years before then. We are pretty rural here, though. I have been to the USA, but not until 7 years ago. Never been anywhere else in Europe until last year. I don't think I have Lyme's. I think the dentist was saying that because he didn't believe mercury could make me ill. He said I have something like cancer or Lyme's as mercury wouldn't do so much to my body. I never went back to him.
