Mitch Effendi (ميتش أفندي)<p>I read a journal article today in the AAAS (one of the older American medical journals) that FINALLY acknowledged for the first time that, when a tick bites a person, they transmit more than simply the bacterium responsible for Lyme Disease.</p><p>They also transmit opportunistic infections that, because CDC guidelines officially claim that coinfections do not exist, these infections go essentially untreated. This is obviously a problem.</p><p><a href="https://12ft.io/proxy?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.scientificamerican.com%2Farticle%2Fbabesiosis-a-tick-borne-disease-that-resembles-malaria-is-on-the-rise%2F" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">12ft.io/proxy?q=https%3A%2F%2F</span><span class="invisible">www.scientificamerican.com%2Farticle%2Fbabesiosis-a-tick-borne-disease-that-resembles-malaria-is-on-the-rise%2F</span></a></p><p><a href="https://hoagie.cloud/tags/tickborneillness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tickborneillness</span></a> <a href="https://hoagie.cloud/tags/lyme" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lyme</span></a> <a href="https://hoagie.cloud/tags/disability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disability</span></a></p>
Sozialministerium BW<p>🕷️ In Baden-Württemberg gibt es die ersten FSME-Erkrankungen. Aufgrund des milden Winters hat die Zeckensaison in diesem Jahr bereits im Januar begonnen. FSME ist eine Viruserkrankung, für die es keine Therapiemöglichkeiten gibt. Der beste Schutz gegen eine FSME-Infektion ist daher die Impfung. Bereits ab zwei Impfungen besteht ein <a href="https://xn--baw-joa.social/tags/Schutz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Schutz</span></a>. Spätestens nach einem Jahr sollte mit der dritten <a href="https://xn--baw-joa.social/tags/Impfung" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Impfung</span></a> der Schutz vervollständigt werden.</p><p>➡️ <a href="https://t1p.de/qo4dp" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">t1p.de/qo4dp</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://xn--baw-joa.social/tags/FSME" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FSME</span></a> <a href="https://xn--baw-joa.social/tags/HealthAwareness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HealthAwareness</span></a> <a href="https://xn--baw-joa.social/tags/PreventiveCare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PreventiveCare</span></a> <a href="https://xn--baw-joa.social/tags/TickborneIllness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TickborneIllness</span></a> <a href="https://xn--baw-joa.social/tags/StaySafe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StaySafe</span></a> <a href="https://xn--baw-joa.social/tags/PublicHealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PublicHealth</span></a> <a href="https://xn--baw-joa.social/tags/OutdoorSafety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OutdoorSafety</span></a> <a href="https://xn--baw-joa.social/tags/GetVaccinated" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GetVaccinated</span></a></p>

John Ross<p>New study from Ontario and Quebec which isolated pathogens causing tick-borne illness from ticks and small mammals. Results: plenty of Lyme (Borrelia burgdorferi) and some Babesia. A surprise: some samples positive for Rickettsia rickettsia, the agent of Rocky Mountain spotted fever, which is not supposed to occur this far north! </p><p>Tick-borne illness was once rare in Canada and is now becoming common, largely as a result of <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/climatechange" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>climatechange</span></a>. <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/Lyme" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Lyme</span></a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/tickborneillness" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>tickborneillness</span></a><br /><a href="https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/full/10.1089/vbz.2022.0036" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">liebertpub.com/doi/full/10.108</span><span class="invisible">9/vbz.2022.0036</span></a></p>
