I caught tularemia camping on a North Georgia lake around July 4th 2020. Peak Covid. It almost killed me and was so rare it took 6 weeks to diagnose. After I started to get better I was taken off antibiotics and then it returned in 3 days. I could barely breathe for around 8 to 9 weeks total, took over a year to fully recover. You do NOT want this.
Hospitalization for a week and my wife couldn’t visit due to Covid. While in the hospital no doctor had a clue what it was, luckily they prescribed the correct antibiotics anyways. Awful stuff.

I got it in 2020 during peak Covid. Took weeks to diagnose but luckily I was on doxycycline for the symptoms. Had a relapse, was sure I was gonna die.
