[at-l] tick bite

[David Addleton]

Linda, kids aren't adults . . .
this means they have biological skills adult physicians don't yet understand
. . .
I know this for real . . .
kids have DEVELOPING immune systems which means they can go in MANY
directions . . . . all at once . . .
kids can shake infections adults cannot . . .
I'm sure your grand-daughter will be fine . . .
