Where did you find it? (link, that is?)

First, where is Plum Island?

Also: What are your sources?

If these are real government documents you have access to, how did you get a hold of them and where can I get a copy?

well we hired one of the German's that served for the SS bio warfare team, he bred ticks and diseases, and we got him out of the Nurmburg trials and put him to work here.
He had little tick farms ON PLUM ISLAND

North of Plum Island is Lyme Ct south of it is the North Shore of Long Island where the highest consentration of Lyme actually exists. That also happens to be where I got infected on the North Shore. I did a lot of training there I loved all the steep hills to ride my bike on and trails to run on.

You can request in writing info on Plum Island through the "Freedom of information act" if you want to open that can of worms. But there is a lot of information out there that proves it was a facility where bio research was being done.

I got my tick bite in 1967 when I was a little girl who lived in Garden City, Long Island. (Bulleye rash followed by a year of horrible joint pains)

Years later at age 45 I now have both late stage Lyme disease and MS and/or CNS Lyme.

Getting final dx soon. Long story.

The tick scientist brought ticks over from parts of Europe I believe in the late 1950's, I dont have the chronology in front of me. We have several Russian Scientists in the USA who were working on biologicals in Europe. The thought America had was that if we offer them and their families a safe haven to live, that they would let us know what is being worked on over there. Of course, we also wanted to "catch up" with them.

I spend a lot of hours researching via Microbiology material, and when I come across a reference, I will use the internet. I found the path that lead to Ft. Detrick and Plum Island several years ago. Last year, a book called Lab 257, came out. A 7 year research project by a lawyer in the long island/ny/ct area. He confirmed in that book some of the things I had been hot on the trail of.

Thank you. That is really disturbing.
Do you know what year this research/ tick breeding began?

Scary. I would think the press would be all over this. Why aren't they?

Seems there has been some legitimate press about Plum Island but most of it is saying that this is just another wild "conspiracy" theory.

On pgs. 120-121 of the DoD Budget Hearings, held on June 9, 1969, you will read reference to the use of "an insect vector -- a mosquito, for example" for use as a biological weapon.

Another book which you might be interested in reading is "Lyme Disease & the S.S. Elbrus" by Rachel Verdon. That book has a lot of info in it on MS. (Check the index.)

There has been a "cover-up" about all of this which has been going on for a long, long time. Our so-called "free press" has been muzzled regarding this disturbing BW subject matter. It's just now starting to come out into the open since the anthrax scare shortly after 9/11/01.

You might find a few of our older topic discussions of this in the Off Topic Forum here at LymeNet -- if you scroll down far enough. We were posting things like this there, prior to 9/11/01 because it was too upsetting and disturbing to others here at LymeNet who were not yet ready to hear about it, so that's why these topics were relegated to the Off Topic Forum, instead. (I hope those older topics haven't been deleted by now, because they were considered in-active, out-dated material, by the LymeNet Administrators. I haven't looked for them in quite a while myself.)

Laureen,
Somewhere in one of Steere's earlier papers, he wrote that the "index case" for LD occurred back in 1962. I keep wondering to myself how he got that date and what more he knows and how he knows it.

I'm supposed to be doing something else right now, instead of posting on LymeNet, so I'm not going to take time to look up the reference citation for Steere's 1962 date. (I can do it later, if you like.)

Lishs Mom,
I'm very curious about your source of info about the ticks being brought into the US in the 1950s. I suspect you're dead right, because it fits my own hypothetical "time line" very nicely, but I haven't run across that particular little detail myself yet. If you can remember where you found that info, please post it.
