Tick Shot?

I just received my second tick shot of the season. Yes, tick shot. Since much of Austria is the Wienerwald, meaning Vienna Woods, people are concerned about Lime's Disease here, which is acquired from ticks in the woods. So, as new V.C.S. staff members, we are required to receive this stick in the arm. The tick shots come in a series of three. The first, then the second a month later, then the third a year after that. I'm due for my third next June. For now, I hope I'm protected from ticks!
