I"ll have to watch that! I just saw the episode where a family's home was infested with bats and because the bats were on an endangered species list the family couldn't remove them, and, one of their kids got bitten.
I doubt they will talk much at all about lyme/co infections but I"m still gonna watch. Posts: 287 | From somewhere | Registered: Oct 2011

OMG! I was watching the ad and thought they were bedbugs. That skeeved me out enough, but then I found out they were ticks and that was even worse. I don't know if I can watch that...

- Oh, my ! Friday night. Infested house. In living color?
I hope they talk about PREVENTION.
Be sure to have some kinds of therapeutic decompression techniques all set in place for after the program. I'd also need to think of many ways to "reframe" or put it in a scientific or anthropological perspective.
Recording it for viewing earlier in the day might be a good move. When the sun goes down, things can seem a bit more spooky.
I would have to think a whole lot of "Zen" thoughts and a lot of deep breathing to find my center, I think.
My motto: not one more single night's sleep should be lost to eery thoughts.
But, I don't have cable, so it would be nice if those who see this could come back and share the basics of how we can avoid this. Tree trimming around the house, pet grooming, etc. ? -

It bird mites not ticks...but in the tick family. My home got infested.. I have lyme and didn't know it then . After fumigation they still bit me. I eventually put 2 & 2 together and got tested.. Lyme it is...abx stopped the painful bites. We moved but they were in our stuff...still bit me then too
Lots of propaganda surrounding bird mites too as with lyme.
