Yeah, same here, started with a sense of something scratching at my back, and a second later felt like someone was digging into my back with a rusty nail…

Other anecdote, back in the early 90s my grandpa got sick with an unknown disease, kept becoming worse to the point he needed to be hospitalised. He had a terrible looking boil on his arm which then developed into an even worse looking lesion, nobody knew what it was until they called a specialist pathologist who took a look and immediately said “Lyme disease”, he was treated and cured without any lasting effects.
I remember being and remaining puzzled about how the Drs didn’t see it given how specific Lyme disease lesions are. That said, my grandpa was a very urban person, the closest he’d get to nature would be exotic fruits in cocktail parties, and this happened in Athens, not exactly a hotspot for deer (though there are deer in a sanctuary just a few km off the centre). I get that familiarity plays a huge part in what Drs think when they see a patient but still feel it’s puzzling that they missed it while the specialist gave a diagnosis in a second.
