Idea: Until rebitten this summer, I was clueless, and ill with no hope. I quickly learned all of this that I condensed. You could copy and paste this into the body of an email & Send this to that sweet friend who is always fwding things to you and dozens of others. Have them spread this:
Please pass this to everyone on your list, and please ask them to do them to do the same? Lyme disease is far and away the fastest growing infectious disease in America--and MOST of this information is never covered, or accurate in media coverage.
Lyme disease is affecting millions of Americans by now, and if you're anything like I was, and don't know anyone with it, chances are you didn't know that:
1. Deer Ticks can NOT be felt when they walk on us (yeah, I thought I'd feel it too). 2. They spit numbing agents onto us before they bite (disgusting, but true). 3. They also spit into our skin IF we squeeze them with tweezers, or use heat or oil to remove them. 4. The nymph-sized ones would fit in this "o" & look like a freckle. 5. 80% of Lyme Disease confirmed cases, never felt or found a tick. (Google: Yale, Lyme 80%) 6. That Bullseye rash is present in only 1/4 of cases. 7. Birds brought Lyme disease from Connecticut almost immediately, as they migrated West. 8. There are NO states without Lyme disease. 9. California is and has been a hot spot since the first waive of birds migrated to the Great Lakes and then West. 10. Children are at greatest risk because they are outside and play in or in tall grasses, trees or leaf litter (VERY dangerous now). 11. While Media LOVEs to instill fear-for-ratings on less common infectious diseases, Lyme Disease has been dangerously DOWNPLAYED. 12. Lyme Disease is a Spirochete; the most dangerous bacteria faced in America today-these corkscrew things burrow into muscles joints and organs. 13. Lyme Disease IS fatal, but not in a quick or painless kind of way (Spirochete load and co-infections play a role). 14. By the time it causes death, doctors will say it's a new ailment, with an unknown cause (Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, ALS, MS, etc.). 15. ALL Health Insurance companies will ONLY cover 30 days of treatment, even though this is almost never enough, so it comes back later, and stronger. 16. Lyme Disease can attack the nervous system, causing Parkinson's disease. Michael J. Fox was treated for Lyme disease three years before developing Parkinson's. 17. Wrong Information is Purposefully Spread by the IDSA (If it looks hard to catch, easy to spot, simple to cure, self-limiting, or unlikely to cause death, it's a LIE.) 18. The IDSA, who sets treatment guidelines - Infectious Disease Society of America was CAUGHT Lying for money (Google: IDSA, CT Attorney General). 19. On Plum Island, Scientists placed Spirochetes into ticks in a BioWarfare research lab a few miles off the coast from Old Lyme Connecticut. 20. It's now coming from too many sources to ignore that infected animals were kept in open air pens, as birds flew in and out.
Those of us who are ill are doing all we can to spread the word, and try to save as many from this as possible. Chances are, you already know at least one person with Lyme disease who doesn't know that Lyme is what's been making them ill.
For my part, I created a blog with the photo I used to "macro-zoom that freckle and see what it was". Google: Ticked Off Literally.
We have long-known that the Syphilis spirochete can advance to a tertiary stage, causing psychiatric illness and death. Lyme is 25 times larger than Syphillis. Google: Pandemic Spirochete.
