(13,869 posts)I had a friend who got it when he was early 40s. He had never had an allergy and had smoked until he was 30. He became so allergic to cigarette smoke that he would have reactions if a smoker came into his office, just because of the residual on that persons clothes.
Good thing was that his problems did abate after several years.
BTW: love your screen name and the song it references.

My sister has two sons and she said nearly every boy in the neighborhood got Lyme this year Fortunately they got the bullseyes, which I didn't get or didn't see. It's unbelievable how little attention is being paid to this terrible disease.
