Seriously makes me wonder about all the tick borne illnesses. I had two, and they just about killed me. Mostly because it took two years to figure it out.

Now, I stay out of the woods. So sad.

hard to love this story. I read similar stories years ago, when a reporter testified that lab leaks happen every 3 or so days. Days ! Aren't we lucky we are still alive?

Having carried Lyme disease around with me for 40 years I still wonder at the evil drive so many have to hurt others.

I knew ticks did not hurt us because I was raised in the woods on Fish Hatcheries where wood ticks shared our playgrounds. We carried them home, had them removed by a careful and thorough Father who knew we thought the critters were disgusting as they stuck on us. We never became sick from them.

Well not until 1985 while hiking in a Va.forest located fairly close to DC. I became attached to one tiny sesame seed sized tick. Did not even know it for two days.

Kris Newby helped many of us with her book “Bitten”.

But as you know, deception, lies, crooked ,evil thugs kept those of us treated like crazy people pretending we made this up. My disgust toward my own country has never left.

Now we fight long covid…..

I have a unsettling feeling that we are still attacked with this sort of bioweapons all over Europe, the US, UK, Canada and Australia, on purpose. When sick nature provided us with mechanisms that heal us promptly. This isn't the case anymore. Many people do not get out of their chronic illness situation. THIS isn' t normal!!
