There was an outbreak of tularemia on Martha's Vineyard some years back. Sounds like a nasty disease.

Having lost the tick lottery and contracted Lyme Disease I'm pretty paranoid about the little buggers. I'm fortunate the only symptom I have had was the spinal menningitis it gave me about a month after the bite.

Eek.

But interesting. There has been an anecdotal uptick in the presentation/incidence of SM in my area. Did the clinician actually say that he believed your Lyme and the Spinal Men were connected, or was that a conclusion you drew yourself?
