'Lyme disease is a ticking time bomb': Leading expert explains how life-wrecking illness is spreading - and what YOU can do to protect yourself
The Devils Hopyard is full of this ****
But hey
it has mica too
i was lucky I never found a tick
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
What do they call the invaders that the ticks bring? Spyrocetes?
Its real and Lyme Connecticut is ground zero
Rodents,Mice,Chipmunks,Squirrels and Ground Hogs carry the bacteria and ticks and rodents are both at the same level,ground level.
Deer transport the ticks across the country side.
I broadcast DCON in all my fieldstone areas.
Rodent control seems to be tick control.
Another reason I am selling the farm and heading South.
Why keep it if you cant enjoy it?
There is an effective treatment of lyme disease, ceftriaxone injectable for several weeks.
Ceftriaxone iv crosses the blood brain barrier and goes into the CNS to kill pathological invaders.
Bambi lovers in America, who love deer in our back yards, parks and anywhere the deer graze have created Lyme Disease time bombs with their ticks. Bambi bring the ticks into these areas. Then the ticks which lurk in the grass, weeds and plants after Bambi was there jump on our pets, children and us. Then, the ticks bite their new hosts and spread this terrible disease.
Get any ticks off your pets, kids and you, quickly, if they attach and bite.
Monitor those bite sites. If a red bullseye appears over the bite site. Go to an Infectious Disease doctor and have he/she start treatment. Don’t wait, delay in treatment can allow the pathogen to cross into your blood brain barrier and make you very miserable for a long time.
The link below has data on treatment of lyme disease with ceftriaxone iv:
Nieces suddenly had several organ failures and blindness. Diagnosed lyme disease that must have been there for quite awhile. Problem is some of the related tick diseases have mycoplasma and they really don’t know how to cure. They fester and pop up as something major. Try to find a dr that knows anything more than to treat for 3 weeks. Lots of quacks too.
I’ve had it before... It’s really devastating and for me the worst part was the inability to think straight or coherently for very long.
Thank goodness for the Internet and a Physician’s assistant that knew the symptoms and the Doctor he worked for listened to him and trusted his diagnosis.
A treatment of the right anti-biotics and I was on the mend three weeks later and fully recovered in about six months.
I had lyme disease four times in childhood. At 4, 8, 14, and 16. It’s practically a rite of passage when you live next to 2900 acres of New England backwoods!
Every time was a miserable experience! Always in my left leg, always involving almost a year of anti-biotics and a “draining” process with a liter-sized syringe and a 20 gauge needlepoint.
I’ve had two tick bites that produced bull eye rashes. No symptoms whatsoever, never tested positive for lyme. One Dr explained that most people never become symptomatic, it will depend on your immune system,but for the ones who do it’s a horrible illness.
Lyme disease is a huge problem in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Tick population had more than doubled in the past few mild weather years. This is not just a problem for humans, they are attacking animals too. Wisconsin has a blood disease killing humans. http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2016-03-21/rare-blood-infection-hits-wisconsin-michigan
Rev. 15:1 What I saw next, in heaven, was a great and wonderful sign: seven angels were bringing the seven plagues that are the last of all, because they exhaust the anger of God.Rev. 6:7 When he broke the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth animal shout, 'Come'.
Rev. 11:6 They are able to lock up the sky so that it does not rain as long as they are prophesying; they are able to turn water into blood and strike the whole world with any plague as often as they like.
Rev. 16:2 The first angel went and emptied his bowl over the earth; at once, on all the people who had been branded with the mark of the beast and had worshiped its statue, there came disgusting and virulent sores.
Rev. 13:12 This second beast was servant to the first beast, and extended its authority everywhere, making the world and all its people worship the first beast, which had had the fatal wound and had been healed.
Rev 16:11 but instead of repenting for what they had done, they cursed the God of heaven because of their pains and sores.

Disease-Carrying Ticks Already Out and Active in Minnesota

This mild, short winter means most of Minnesota’s tick population survived. Even though it’s only early March, the disease-carry blacklegged ticks, also known as deer ticks, are already out and active. “We know they can be active when the temperatures are in the mid -to upper-30s, so that could be today,” University of Minnesota Entomologist Jeff Hahn said. “They are out there, and we have already seen them looking for hosts,” he said. Blacklegged ticks are becoming more of a problem here in the Twin Cities metro. As a result, the number of reported cases of Lyme disease are on the rise. According to The Minnesota Department of Health, 252 cases were reported in 1996; that number jumped to 1,431 reported cases in 2013.

the city girls print their annual screeds
We’ve always dusted arms, legs, and clothing, with our “sulphur sock”. This prevented many of the woodsy creatures from biting our children. We spent many weeks a year at our Riverhouse and so far, no infections.
My cousin’s daughter has it and was diagnosed late. She is having to go through an unbelievable regimen and its so expensive.
