After reading the doc-duh statements over in Medical, I started thinking about all the stupid questions we could ask the doc-duhs. But hey, what do Americans know, anyway?

But doc-duh, I thought the bacteria are made from green cheese.

I heard motor oil cures the spirochetes.

How is it that ticks recognize a border and know not to cross it? Can they get passports? Did my state ban ticks?

Does Lymes refer collectively to all the Lyme towns where the infection first started?

Can limes treat Lyme? What about other citrus?

I heard that we don't sleep because the bacteria are active then and we're on the same schedule they are.

Doesn't co-infection just mean they all get along?

Is bartonella a female organism? Sure sounds like it.

Is ehrlichia related to lichen?

Do people with babesia babble a lot? Or are they just drawn to babies?

The DocDuh is in the House!

How is it that ticks recognize a border and know not to cross it?
Because of the signs silly-"Welcome to __________" Buckle up!

Can they get passports?
they don't need passports-they get piggybacks instead.

Did my state ban ticks?
If they banned ticks it would be discrimmination- so my guess would be NO.


I heard that we don't sleep because the bacteria are active then and we're on the same schedule they are.
My tick must have crossed the border from Mexico because I always take a siesta in the afternoon.

Doesn't co-infection just mean they all get along?
Good point-makes me think some lyrics.."can't have one without the ahthther" Could just mean it's a symbionic relationship.

Is bartonella a female organism? Sure sounds like it.
Sounds more like a cross dresser to me.


Do people with babesia babble a lot? No, they just flap their lips.

Or are they just drawn to babies?
Actually some people think babesia is a fear of baby drool.

Hey -- there's a doc-duh in the house, which is full of cobwebs -- left over from Halloween, no doubt...

Ok, doc-duh, what can you tell me about my tick questions?

If the guinea fowl diet includes ticks, have there been any efforts to breed and release them in the hopes of eradicating the tick problem?

If ticks don't like high heat, what about developing large blow dryers to use on nature everywhere? And could they be made quieter?

I've heard of a tickzapper being developed. Any more news about this?

Could excess depleted uranium be used to nuke ticks? Would nuked ticks not be able to reproduce anymore?

Only if the guinea fowl are really pigs.

The good news is-global warming will take care of this problem. The bad news is-not in your lifetime.

And could they be made quieter?
the ticks or the hair dryers-please clarify or I'll get mad at you.

I've heard of a tickzapper being developed.
I think you are getting this confused with the latest invention of laser tweezers used by neuro lyme patients to pluck their eyebrows.

Any more news about this? It has been recalled because too many patients complained of ZITS.

Could excess depleted uranium be used to nuke ticks?
excess depleted? that's an oxymoron , you moron.

Would nuked ticks not be able to reproduce anymore?
Ever hear of Godzilla Tick? There are still occasional sitings at Lyme Rallies. Warning- don't ever put a tick in your microwave. A nuked tick might not be able to reproduce anymore but it can still screw you.

Carol in PA -- put on your unthinking cap for us please -- give us either stupid questions or stupid answers and we will provide the answers or questions you are looking for -- maybe something about the animals you see in your backyard -- surely you must have some kind of stupid questions to ask about their health...

Actually, I've got it...the fact that you haven't come up with a stupid question yet indicates that the ketes ate them all. Sorry, but you may be too intelligent for this exercise. Cobby, any comment on this unfortunate state of affairs for Carol in PA?

I knew men were color blind-but I didn't know they were THAT color blind. If you see any green ticks, they're probably riding on the back of a pink elephant.

Stupid doctor's with undiagnosed Lyme Disease.

how can a tick the size of a pin head have so much stuff in it,
Remember -it was the skinniest Asian in the line up who won the hot dog eating contest. Think of it like that.

no ,pin head was not meant to speak of cobby, although alot of times it applies!!!!!lol
even though that was a declarative sentence I shall respond to it anyway. Duncecaps fit better on Pinheads so they can do it standing in the corner.


if a tick were bitten by a tick would the tick turn green with envy???
it would turn green with lymeaid unless it bit an engorged tick, then it would turn red with Hawaiian Punch

i lways thought tbd meant ,to baltimore daily?
[b]It means "tickle bad dave"


if a tick bit you on the butt, would it be nothing but a tick??
If a tick bit you on the butt , it would be nothing but a brownnose a$$licking tick.


where are all the lemom and orange ticks?
You got me Stymied on that one. Look in a bag of starbursts.

No- you would have a bully with no balls.

Depends on whether he was normal before he was bit. Define normal. Pres. Clinton might have been bitten ,too,-but not by a tick.

why is lyme ,ct called lyme ct, shouldn't it be
bb,ct??
Lyme is a lot easier to spell for city kids like me from Bartonella MD.

if we had a support group of lymies,
could you say they were all ticked off??
Depends which website they came from... [Big Grin]

how come cobby can answer all my stupid questions?
-Let me ask Walter, and if he doesn't know I'll ask Pedro.


i wonder is she ticked at me???
Yes-because I feel it is my obligation to answer all stupid questions-and I'm supposed to be packing for my next big move to Tick County MD.

Any further questions will be answered by the many well qualified, highly questionable PA's on board-Pathological Assistants.

Oh, Doc-Duh Cob, I had some more Qs for you. My first one now being: seriously, if you're moving, do you have to take the ketes with you or could you just leave them behind?

Alright, for the Doc-Duh or anyone else stationary enough to handle this, my next ones:

1) Does a bull's eye rash mean it looks like the eye of a bull? Why a bull? Why not a cow?

2) If you get no symptoms after being bitten by a tick, does that mean it's sub-lyme?

3) I keep hearing things about IV treatment for Lyme. Why is the Roman numeral 4 receiving so much attention these days?

4) Does post-Lyme syndrome mean it could be sent through the mail? Is that another possible form of transmission to be concerned about?

5) Things didn't go well with the last couple doc-duhs I saw. First I saw Dr Hu. Then I saw Dr Watt second. He asked me who I saw. I said yes. He said "What?" I said "Yes, you." "Who?" "Yes." "What?" "You." Then he asked if I was going to see a 3rd one. I said, "Ida No."

He said I never answered any of his questions and I thought I answered them all. I'm so confused.

Oh wow, I needed to read these postings this morning. What a way to brighten the day!! Thanks.

You know, in Florida (where I lived before now) they tried to make a non-biting misquito and ended up with the love-bug by breeding a couple of bugs together. Strange looking bug if you've ever seen one. Two bugs permanently attached.

Anyway, got me thinking...maybe we could just breed ticks and lightening bugs. Then we could at least "see" them coming and get a warning and avoid those suckers!! (no pun intended)

Thanks again for the grins today...I needed it. [hi]

Oh, Tamera, your comments remind me of the time I was staying in someone's flat in NYC and when the lights got turned off, there were these fluorescent streaks running across the walls and ceilings -- they had spraypainted the cockroaches there in fluorescent colors. And yes, we could see them coming and going!

There are so many ticks in Harford County-they carry the cows.

can you get lyme by drinking milk from harford county???
Not if it's in a White Russian. .


do cows have chocolate and vanilla nipples???
That's an udderly stupid question. Of course-how else would Dairy Queen make those chocolate and vanilla swirls.

i bet there is a lot of bull in hartford county?
Any bull found in Harford County wandered in from North Carolina.

why are docs soooooo stupid???
Because they have never been a patient who has to figure out their own diagnosis.

how come the iq of the average lymie is 75? Because the IQ of mainstream Ducks is 50.

if you drink lime juice will that kill lyme???
If you mix it with arsenic -it will kill lyme and it's host.

What! Leave my ketes behind-no way Hose. Then I'd have to leave my PICC behind , and if I left my PICC behind, I'd have to leave my pole behind, and if I left my pole behind ,I'd have no way to shake my booty.-

Alright, for the Doc-Duh or anyone else stationary enough to handle this, my next ones:

1) Does a bull's eye rash mean it looks like the eye of a bull?
Nobody's looked a bull in the eye and lived to tell about it. So I don't know.

Why a bull? Why not a cow? Because it would be BS to call it a "cowplop rash".

2) If you get no symptoms after being bitten by a tick, does that mean it's sub-lyme?
You answered your own question on this one. Can't think of a better one-explains the passive/aggressive nature of the beasties.

3) I keep hearing things about IV treatment for Lyme. Why is the Roman numeral 4 receiving so much attention these days? Because it usually takes about 4 tries to get the picc line in right.

4) Does post-Lyme syndrome mean it could be sent through the mail? No-it refers to the fact that most lyme patients have gone postal by the time they are diagnosed properly.

Is that another possible form of transmission to be concerned about? Only if you lick too many stamps. There was a study recently that found a high incidence of rodent hairs and droppings in the stamp glue. The study did not confirm if they were white footed mice hairs or droppings.

5) Things didn't go well with the last couple doc-duhs I saw. First I saw Dr Hu. Then I saw Dr Watt second. He asked me who I saw. I said yes. He said "What?" I said "Yes, you." "Who?" "Yes." "What?" "You." Then he asked if I was going to see a 3rd one. I said, "Ida No."

He said I never answered any of his questions and I thought I answered them all. I'm so confused.

Were DucDuh Hu and Watt in practice with DucDuhs Whair and Wen? Weye did you have to go see so many when you could have just come to me! it's easy to see what's wrong with you. There's a bullseye in the middle of your cowplop-or is that a piece of rice?

My apologies for making you wait-NOT. I make it a practice to have someone wait an inordinate amount of time each week to make it seem like I am really important. When actually I was probably out for a three martini lunch,.

Thank you so much, Doc-Duh Cob, for taking time out from your busy schedule to set my heart at ease on these matters.

Your cowplop rash response does raise another issue, namely, whether we have been correctly identifying these rashes all along or not.

Maybe they should be named for the affected animal, as in rat's ring, mousemark, dogdarnit rash, catyoumustbekittenme rash, humanheavenhelpus rash, you get the idea...

Also, was wondering if you'd care to comment on papers recently discovered to have been published by a couple of your peers, the first being by a Dr. Seuss, titled, "I Do Not Like Green Eggs With Lyme", and subtitled, "Get Away Quick From A Tick On A Stick". Co-authored with Yertle the Turtle.

The second is by a Dr Doolittle, who claims he can talk with animals and that they are telling him they want to establish a www.onlineanimalsonlyme.org site for their health needs.

The third being a Dr. Watson who claims to have deduced that "There Must Be Ticks Oot And Aboot In Scotland Yard Because It's A Yard -- Get It?"

Thx for your words of appreciation! Answer: 'cause you can't keep a good joke down!
And maybe most of the nonsense doc-duhs expect us to swallow...

Except for Doc-Duh CornOnTheCob -- salty stuff, kinda corny, ear, ear!

Oh, and Dr Seuss wants to know if the cat in the hat comes back, hopefully it won't be bringing any cat ticks with it?

This is a really strange paragraph, Tamera...

So did they manage to end up with a nonbiting insect(s)? Or do they deliver two bites at a time? Or are they biting each other?

Walter has corrected me on this one-
Why a bull? Why not a cow? Because it would be BS to call it a "cowplop rash".

He informs me that you can determine the sex of the tick that bit you by the type of rash you develope. If it's a bullseye rash it was a male tick.

But technically, it you are bitten by a female tick, you would develop a "cowpeye-(pronounced cow pie)" rash.

Just wanted to clear that up for you, so there would be no misinformation disseminated on board.

There is a bracelet coming out in the colors of green, yellow and red to remind you to eat your boogers.

why are doctors idiiots?
Because they had to surrender their common sense to the devil in order to get their degree.

what is green,black & blue,red,purple,orange
yellow ,not a rainbow?
i'll answer cobby's arm
You got it Babe! It's like a perennial garden of bloomin' bruises.

how come i have not had a cold since lyme treatment?
Because no one will get close enough to sneeze on you.

If we use DR B's info where is DR A?
If you are referring to Dr. Ahole-he's still working on his BS degree.

Who is smarter a hopkins doctor or a student at Hereford High?? Correction-Hopkins' doctors only think they are smarter-this is a grave misconception. Students at Hereford High are smarter because they chose to go to a school that has more snow days.

why do you have a BJ's in the middle of Hartford county and i have none within 1oo miles of banner elk,nc??
This is a personal question I will not answer on board.

Re Stymie's Q about how much we all hear about Dr B but where is the missing Dr A -- not sure Doc-Duh Cob and I are talking about the same gentleman --

Dr Arrascano is little-known in the Lyme medical field. He was one of the first to publish about Lyme/co's, but all words started with the letter "A", so they had to banish him to Australia, Austria or the Adirondacks, not sure which. If he is asked for any comments today, he usually prefaces his remarks with "aawwgeez" and "aarrgghh".

Robin,
In answer to your lovebug question. They do not bite. But the are permanently connected to each other back end to back end. So one does the walking and flying forward and the other one just gets dragged along. Twice a year they are around in swarms in Florida and really make a mess out of your car and windsheild. UGH, driving down the road and sounds like rain, just the black bugs hitting your windsheild.

According to the article, this is for about three days.

[Eek!]

I haven't read through all of them yet, but I am soooooo impressed with Robin!!!

So, Doc-tuh, if my issues are Psycho-somatic, does that mean I'm sleepwalking right now? Could the illness progress into my coming at you with a knife while you're in the shower, while shrill violins cut through the air? Will I start calling myself Norman and purchase a Hotel?

For medical advice related to Lyme disease, please see an ILADS physician.

================================
Man o Man....I was really wondering about that!!!! I thought they were mating also...but didn't want to stick my neck out there and be considered STUPID!!! [loco] [lol]

I remember those from childhood in Texas. Havent' seen them in years. Don't have them here in MO and I guess they don't come out in TX in June or December when we're usually down there.

Not unless you can type and walk at the same time.

Could the illness progress into my coming at you with a knife while you're in the shower, while shrill violins cut through the air?

Having a bad day are we? Please remember-I am not Doc-tuh Duck, Use the knife on the shrill violins, should change the pitch the strings go TWANG. Then you can use the violins as paddles as you sing "Merrily We Row Along" in the bathtub.

Will I start calling myself Norman

If you start calling yourself, be sure you are on Verizon's Family Plan.

and purchase a Hotel?

You can't purchase a Hotel until you have bought 4 houses. Those are the rules of the game.

And you thought YOU had issues! [bonk]

BTW-your issues would only be PSYCHO-somatic if you were bitten by a tick that checked into a Roach Motel, they're a franchise of the Baits Corporation.

Your cowplop rash response does raise another issue, namely, whether we have been correctly identifying these rashes all along or not.

Maybe they should be named for the affected animal, as in rat's ring, mousemark, dogdarnit rash, catyoumustbekittenme rash, humanheavenhelpus rash, you get the idea...

Also, was wondering if you'd care to comment on papers recently discovered to have been published by a couple of your peers, the first being by a Dr. Seuss, titled, "I Do Not Like Green Eggs With Lyme", and subtitled, "Get Away Quick From A Tick On A Stick". Co-authored with Yertle the Turtle.

The second is by a Dr Doolittle, who claims he can talk with animals and that they are telling him they want to establish a www.onlineanimalsonlyme.org site for their health needs.

The third being a Dr. Watson who claims to have deduced that "There Must Be Ticks Oot And Aboot In Scotland Yard Because It's A Yard -- Get It?"

Not sure if this is going to work -- I'm going to try to quote myself since this got left on page one and I am awaiting Doc-Duh Cob's answers.

Thx canbrave for your shower of praise on my stupidities, I go through psycho-lls of it here, seems to come on after I see one of those weird bugs coming at me and then I wonder if I'm seeing double again and have to remember to drink my mangosteen juice.

Well, it worked -- I quoted myself. This is in honor of the double bugs and double vision. Now now will will you you answer answer my my questions, questions, Doc-Duh Doc-Duh Cob Cob?
