New Tick born VIRUS found, frankly this scares me

[JP Z]

I know Lymes is bad and all, but it's not like it kills you in 10 days or anything.

I will really want to see what they find with this before springtime comes.

Geez, dude. "We don't know the full spectrum of disease because it's the first case" Relax and have a bourbon!

There's 10 new things a year that we are told will kill us! People are getting a little on the edgy side every time some Doctor wants some highlights!

[JP Z]

Very true, no time to get overly concerned....I just find it scary they really know nothing about it.

We'll all be dead from Ebola by spring anyhow.

Wait... What happened to Ebola?

[JP Z]

Nice, well done. Yeah, true getting all out of whack over this. I'll now be calm.

[leechlake]

I've had the flu since Dec 24 finally getting done with it. I think Ebola may have lasted less time or killed me. The day I coughed so much I got back spasms I was thinking Ebola may have been a bargain but I'm probably wrong.

Well maybe we can start a list of all the scary stuff we were going to all die from in the last 20 years! I'll start a few but forgot most of them because they seem to have gone off the media hype radar!

1)West Nile

2)Swine Flu

3)Anthrax

4)Smallpox outbreak

5)SARS

6)Avian influenza

7)MERS

8)Bird Flu

9)Ebola

10)Mad cow

11)CWD

I didn't mean to direct that at you, JP Z. I read about the bourbon virus, too, and I'll admit I am one of those that gets worked up, too. Especially with tick diseases as I am in the woods so much. Never hurts to "know the enemy" as long as we can balance that knowledge with a bit of "can't worry about everything."

Fine..... starting not to think it's soo bad. Just need some extra Permethrin.

[Stick in Mud]

I'm still angry I can't get a Lyme's vaccine but my dog can.

I know DEET has been used for a long time and I use it too, but permethrin soaked clothes worries me. I use insecticide at work and that is the main ingredient... I will not wear clothes that are treated with this stuff. Just a thought.

[JP Z]

That is true, or I guess wear clothes under your Permethrin soaked ones? I have the stuff haven't put it on yet, maybe I'll do a bit more research this winter on it.
