Tick borne disease mnemonic

Hey everyone!
I just made a mnemonic for remembering the diseases transmitted by the vector hard tick.

Common tick borne diseases in the US mnemonic:
TABLES
T - Tularemia
A - Anaplasmosis
B - Babesiosis
L - Lymes disease
E - Ehrlichiosis
S - Spotted (Rocky Mountain Spotted fever)

Another mnemonic is, "Tickle the baby"
And "Hard as a rock"

Tick borne diseases mnemonic

For all those wondering who the masked guy in blue is.. It is "The Tick" from the cartoon series.. The face reminds me what a tick looks like :)

That's all!
