Just came from the doctor. I have a small blistered rash on my arm, and
swollen lymph gland near the rash. The doctor does not think its lyme.
Another doctor looked at it, and thought it might be from a rose prick.
Has anyone heard of this??

Not really, but some weeks ago I was working in my flower garden and
noticed a prominent swelling on the back of my hand. I looked more
closely and saw what looked like a thorn sticking out, so I pulled it
out. It didn't really hurt, and it didn't itch, but the next day the
swelling was black and blue. My theory is that the thorn punctured a
blood vessel, and blood accumulated under the skin. That area still
looks darker than the rest of my hand.
