It was very interesting and telling (on a world-wide platform) that while the family was discussing Jep's recent brush with death that the dad, Phil, kept saying, repeatedly, that whatever Jep had was caused by ticks and/or mosquitoes.

Although Lyme or co-infections weren't mentioned specifically, Phil did say there were numerous diseases transmitted through the bites.

Maybe they didn't want to get into the whole discussion on that topic?

I couldn't access the instagram link. (?)

Sorry. I guess you need an instagram account. Maybe I'll post it up on youtube or something.

He basically says (and idk the context of the discussion) :

Phil: I think it's a tick.

Everyone else: Huh? (with confused faces)

Phil: Yes, a tick or a mosquito can cause meningitis and encephilitis

Everyone: (Scared faces)

That's just a general synopsis.
