I agree, a good narrator with the right voice is a bonus and keeps you attentive. I'm quite deaf, but certain voices I'm able to pick up quite clear and distinctly.
I’ve had Tularemia. Also grew up the Boston area. Also had Lyme, Babesia, Bartonella, and red water fever. I deteriorated for over a decade and then was bedridden for 3 years while treating. Anyway, I’m much better, and very active. I’m also in nursing school :) it’s possible to get better!
My son almost died from this disease, he was on a ventilator in icu for over a month. This was about a year and a half ago, he is still struggling to get back to normal. Please wear masks when mowing lawns.
The island should be held liable for NOT telling residence and visitors that this was happening! I live here and it's infuriating! Thinking of all the landscapers who mow hundreds of lawns a week without masks were at risk! My son did landscaping when he was 17. If he has gotten sick I would have sued!
They know about ticks, but they couldn’t find it in the grass. So how could they warn about other ways where they DIDNT find it? I hope there is a warning about ticks. If there isn’t then you could sue.
Like the video says, the cause WAS; "After six months of relentless investigation, researchers unravel the mystery. Those who suffered the illness have inadvertently given it to themselves. A contaminated batch of a dietary supplement sold in health food stores across the country is the culprit."

4:41 I’m watching this in 2023, after the pandemic. I’m so humbled by the nurses and doctors going about their job. Not worried about infection, just trying to help people. Now, at this point I don’t know how overworked and underpaid they are, but for anyone in the healthcare industry (other than insurance companies (you can just strait up FO) (and their employees (find a job where you don’t FO people everyday or go be a full fledged politician) you have my heartfelt thanks for the situations you put yourselves in. Thank you for trying to take care of us, while we make you sick! 💕💕💕
My husband got Rocky Mtn. Spotted Fever, in Kansas, where ticks are everywhere, but it took almost 3 weeks to figure out what was wrong, many specialists were seeing him, he was on an special mattress to keep him temp. lower (to no avail), antibiotics were not helping. They finally got the fever lower but it took months for a full recovery, but he was in-patient for 5 weeks.. His lungs never healed - he would wheeze, he was likely never going to father a baby. (We ha 2 - 2 miracles). His health was never "great" after that, he survived but never felt up to par, he passed away from natural causes at age 62. I will always feel the RMF was why his health bottomed out so young..... I feel people should have been warned...
My ex SIL was on the island in June of 2000 He was staying with a well known singer working on some music.. He camped out on grass ..and YEP caught Tularaemia . No one told him about the risks. He went back to Boston and became very ill. He didn't have the cash /insurance to go to the hospital ..Luckily for him his doctor had antibiotic samples in his drawer, he could give him, .plus he luckily didn't develop the deadlier pneumonia variety of the disease. .He was due to marry in September ,almost too exhausted to do all the prep. I lived in Europe and had to arrange some of it for him and my daughter. They have always been very low key about it. If I hadn't seen this video I would never have known how serious it was for them. .How COULD the authorities NOT have warned visitors .I wonder how many more people who left the island became ill like my SIL ,but didn't get the right help.?.
@@leeanncrowe761also, and fear of creating fear for the many who didn’t catch it. That’s the risk you take when you travel to places. You never know what illnesses are native to the area where their population could have created immunity and doesn’t get as affected. 😮
Yup. I live in a different touristy area of Massachusetts, and it doesn't surprise me at all that they're more worried about tourist money than the residents wellbeing. My county likes to keep things out of the news that'll scare off tourists. Like, we'll all know there was a drug related shooting, followed by a retaliation killing, but they'll run a story on some god awful "art", that the city paid some ridiculous amount of money for instead, or some upcoming classical music festival. Because, we're a quaint and rustic place, don't you know. There are no drugs, no homeless on every intersection, no robberies. Nothing to see here.
Sucks doesn’t it. You hit the nail on the head. I’m saying this to you before Australia passes the misinformation law and replies like this is suppressed. Be well and blessings from this Australian.
I'm stunned to hear that woman say openly that they were prepared to risk people getting ill because of the tourist dollar.. Why didn't they warn tourists and tell them to stay away until they knew exactly how the disease was transmitted ?
Are you certain there was no notification? I do understand that the island economy was almost completely dependent on tourism, but given recent events, I have no confidence at all that people would have heeded the warning. I suspect at least the island newspaper carried info about the disease if not the "outbreak" status. Keep in mind that even at the close of this vid, there'd been no conclusion and that Tularemia was still happening sporadically. That's been several years now. I guess it's like ticks and Lyme disease. When one is, the other is also and Lyme is pretty serious as well.
@@ZanysMoon Lyme wasn't always a recognised illness or infection its only recently that doctors have excepted this disease is infecting humans Plus catching it isn't so easy a feeding tick firstly has to be an infected one then it has to be feeding for around 24 hrs so the majority of people will have noticed a tick much sooner It's still scary that a common bug can pass this on to you
Watching a documentary about an outbreak in time of a coronavirus outbreak might seems stressful but I like to see how well we are prepared to fight outbreaks even in face of the uncertainty.
16:50 The original *Jaws* was filmed on Martha's Vineyard. One of the big plot points is the mayor getting the police chief to cover up the first shark attack because "we need summer dollars". Ding-ding.
That's the right thing to do. The masses are brain dead particularly when it comes to things with such random variability as shark attacks. They already had tested the main theories and found no evidence before the actual cause, contaminated supplements, was found, so stoking public fear would not have been helpful.
This documentary was very interesting and scary as well to see that however people are being infected that Tularemia is such a dangerous disease to contract and how quickly it moves through a human body.
6:47 oh my god that is the absolute WORST feeling. My little kitten had FIP and the med works within a few days but he had 6 seizures in an hour when we brought him in and it was seriously a question of can the er keep him alive for a few days for it to work. Add in that the med isn’t legal here yet so we had to get it from a group that supplies it from China. Our er vets were amazing and they did the shots for us while he was there. My little man is very happy and healthy with no brain damage that we know of which is incredibly surprising tbh. He has a bit of abnormalities in his blood work but his ultrasound was perfect. He and his brothers were incredibly sick and malnourished as babies. The runt weighed 200g at 4 weeks. A large newborn is 150g. Yeti weighed 300g. They all made it and became handsome healthy gentlemen
When I was in the military I ran a temperature that stayed at 106 and fluctuated very little from 106 degrees for 3 days straight. One sergeant forced me to go to the emergency room. They put 3 IV bags of fluid in me and said if I didn't urinate by the 4th bag they were admitting me. I finally had to go just as they were getting ready to administer the 4th IV bag. I recall having bronchitis or something like that and could barely talk for a month. I also recall feeling slightly delirious when I got back to the barracks.
Nationwide, tularemia is a relatively rare disease, according to the Centers for Disease Control, which has tracked its incidence since 1950. Between 2006 and 2016, there were an average of 172 reported cases per year across the country, with the highest incidence in Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma where there are 25 to 35 cases per year in each state. In New England, tularemia is extremely rare apart from Martha’s Vineyard, which state statistics show reached a high of 16 confirmed and probable cases in 2008. The majority of cases, according to the state DPH, have been people who work outdoors, especially landscapers. Tularemia can be contracted in one of several ways. The disease is carried by certain ticks including the common dog tick (also called the wood tick). A person can also become infected after touching, handling, eating or being bitten by an infected animal, or having contact with water or soil that has been contaminated by an infected animal. The most serious form is pneumonic tularemia, which usually results from breathing dusts or aerosols containing the organism. Between 2000 and 2010, more than 40 people on Martha’s Vineyard were diagnosed with the pneumonic variety, according to a Department of Public Health update issued in May 2010. The last known death from tularemia on Martha’s Vineyard was in 2000, when a 43-year-old landscaper from Chilmark contracted the pneumonic form and failed to seek medical attention in time. Investigators suspected that David Kurth may have inhaled the remains or feces of an infected rodent while mowing a lawn near Squibnocket.
@@jcspider7259 The same paragraph is also shown with the video titled "Tainted Blood Leads To Lethal Discovery | Diagnosis Unknown | Real Responders" where I believe it truly belongs.
I think this documentary might have purposefully glossed over the leading hypotheses, which have been in place since the original paper linking cutting grass to the infection... because it's gross. Scientists believe it *is* that they're chopping up animals and animal feces. For example, the species of rabbits on the island make shallow hidden nests in grass and brush. They could be run over without noticing, especially by the people who are professional landscapers using riding lawn mowers and the like. It remains "unproven" because... I'm guessing no one wants to do a study of running over baby bunnies with a lawnmower to find out the infectious potential of aerosolizing them. It's widely accepted as the likely cause, however.
to you maybe, but not the government. Look at Ford, the Pinto was going to be the safest car. The first car with ABS (too expensive so they didn't do it) then the bladder in the gas tanks. A person on the board asked the engineers how much they would save if they did not put in the bladders. Then asked a lawyer how much they would be sued. The savings were worth it, so they did not install the bladders. True fact, look it up. In the end if they did it, Pintos would be sold still today and be known as the first safe economy car.
Well, look at it this way: They’re a hell of a lot easier to see with their dark little bodies against a lighter background. Tularemia! Oh My God! Pasteurella (?) tularensis!!! Really bad news! Holy s- - -! 🥺😲😫
"Cottontail rabbits from Arkansas and Missouri were introduced to Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard, an island off the coast of Massachusetts, by game clubs in the late 1930s, and the first locally acquired cases of tularemia were reported shortly thereafter."
I love how the CDC went and ran their mower test. Imagine looking out the window and on your neighbor's law there's people in space suits mowing the lawn and waving sticks around the mower.
I lived on the Vineyard then and the outbreak and cautions were in the papers and posted flyers. We were fortunate to have an infectious disease doctor. West Nile was just becoming a problem on the mainland then, too.
But our mission in life is to spend, spend, spend. God forbid that we learn anything of importance. 《Insert eyes 👀 rolling and a nasty bit of sarcasm spewing off of the lips》

Would Carter have waited a week before seeing a doc if a public health advisory had been issued after the abnormal “”spike” in case was first documented?
It wasn't that abnormal at first (other than being the pneumonic form). Tularaemia is endemic to the area so they have cases every year. If you live in an area where a disease like tularaemia is endemic, then you should have the common sense to go to the doctor when you're really sick - especially if you have pneumonia symptoms and a fever of 105-106 for nearly a week.
Here is a tip: To protect your small pets, use Diatomaceous Earth (Amorphous Silica) ! Mozart (my cat) and I live in a forest and he used to pick up a few ticks and fleas. I applied a generous amount of this powder on his fur - especially around his neck and head and back - and set him out again. After about an hour I called him in, and not one bug was on him. (Parts of his fur is pure white so this is how I could tell.) The best kind of Diatomaceous Earth is FOSSIL POWER, from Florida!
@@FloozieOne Boric acid also works in homes with a flea infestation. Spread it on your carpets, making sure to get corners, cover with a tarp and in 24 hours you are bug free.
Owning dogs and cats the flea battle was constant, 6 years ago I started to spray the rugs in the halway with food grade diatomaceous earth and have never seen a flea since, either on any of the pets or in the house.
When my son was a teenager,he got tularemia. One of his favorite things to do was take his 22 and go out, hunting rabbits. He was skinning his rabbit and a bone broke, and it jabbed into his finger. In a few hours it was very swollen and he was very very sick. When we took him to our doctor, who had been practicing for many years. He heard the story and gave my son an injection and put him on antibiotics immediately. He didn’t even wait for the lab test to come back because he was familiar with it and knew what it was. My son healed very quickly because our good doctor treated him so quickly. Another teenage boy in his school also got the same disease about the same day, only his turned to pneumonia, and they almost lost him. It is a very nasty disease.
My neighbour drives me nuts with his incessant noisy lawn mowing. Now I have an idea to get him to stop-"are you crazy? do you want to catch tularemia or something?"😄
I got a rare form of pneumonia in 2017. CDC came to my hospital room and ran tests and everything over a 3 week span. after 3 weeks in the hospital with multiple issues because of the pneumonia and surgery, sepsis, icu stay, you name it, they couldn't find the source. even now all I know is I was infected by another person somewhere in the major city I live in.
I never heard anything about this disease. Some bacteria are very resistent and Science has no easy job to fight them! Thank's God, this disease can be treated with strong antibiotica. There were many cases in the early 60's in Sweden too, but they were able to keep it all under control. THE MANKIND NEEDS SCIENCE MORE THEN EVER BEFORE!
@@touchofgrey5372 I thank you for this explanation. It was a "lapsus" of mine. I knew it before, but I forgot this. As we also know , antibioticum singular and antibiotica plural.
We trust THEM? They created much of the problems we currently have. We must remove greed from the equation. Big pharma has flat out said "there's little profit incentive in cures".

No , no trust is earned and once you cause people to loose it ! YOU POWER MONEY FREAKS CAN NEVER EVER BE TRUSTED AGAIN !!!
Okay just wait a minute! First, the title of this video mentions bed bugs and a bite in the night. Then , in the description for this video it says that they finally decided that all of the people that got sick had gotten the sickness from the supplements that they were all taking that had been contaminated . But the video says that they were all sick from ticks by mowing yards where the ticks were. So which is it??
Well, it seems likely to me that the ticks bit the residents while they were mowing the lawn, possibly after the residents brushed by shrubbery or foliage at the edge of their lawns.

I had pneumonia once but in the lower part of one lobe in the winter, I felt faint and had a persistant cough I thought was bronchitis, I went to the doctor and she did CT scan and said I had pneumonia but was more concerned about the tachycardia i lso had. She wanted to admit me but I said no, I have dogs at home alone, so they agreed to give me IV antibiotics outpatient, I had to go in at specified times over 3 days to get it done. Day 3 she tried a pill during the IV session, to deal with the tachycardia but it crashed my BP and heart rate way down, so they sent me to another hospital 45 miles away where they shocked the tachycardia away, and then treated the pneumonia. I dont remember having a fever, certainly not a high one, but it was miserable, just coughing once would spark another and another and another in rapid succession until the lungs were totally empty, and then trying to breathe in would cause another cough! I had to really focus and carefully just inhale slowly to get past the coughing rounds. They had a respiratory therapist come 2x a day, one of which was like 3 or 4 am, I'd be JUST dozing off on a horrible uncomfortable bed on my back which I never sleep on that way, and he'd wake me for therapy. I was there a few days, that was just the lower part of one lobe I can't imagine how it is with a fuly involved lung!
Why are the parasitologist doctors trailing tick catching fabric along while walking by the disturbed grass wearing only shorts . I would have shiny pants cinched well at the ankles , and long shiny fabric sleeves with gloved hands .
People first above money especially. To prevent disease spread outside of the Island. People have a right to know...Immediately. As a tourist, I would expect to be protected and made aware of any deadly disease. To hear that they didn't want to hurt the economy is very much worrisome and appalling.
I think I saw a found footage film based on this. It was called "The Bay" and the only real difference was you can't see the bugs irl. Even if it was a coincidence, being stuck in a situation like this would be very scary. You could be fine, but get very sick in 20 hours or less. At least with Covid, we had time. Most people didn't even come close to crashing that quickly.
Yay~ MV. I live on the SouthCoast of MA, Marion, MA! I’m so curious about this- never heard of this? Maybe my parents did though. Summer’s on the SouthCoast is the BEST!!
The description box indicates it was caused by a contaminated dietary supplement sold in health food stores across the country yet they don't tell you what that supplement was! In my opinion it's so irresponsible to not provide the full information.
I had babesiosis (mentioned early on). Worst flu like symptoms ever, ever 42 days - for exactly one week. Could not walk or talk. Vomitted every half hour to an hour. Throat so sore I couldn't swallow spit despite the vomit. Fever of 102 F. Worst muscle aches ever. Could not stand they hurt so much. Brain fog and headaches. PROFUSE sweating. To the point that my family had to change my sheets at least once in a night as I soaked them. Massive dehydration from all the sweating and vomitting. Worst experience of my life. Never gotten anything 1/10th as bad as that. Wanted to die at one point, until I finally got a diagnosis. Was on some very nasty meds for 9 months. But it got rid of the cycle of babesia flare ups.
I had parrot fever when I was younger and it effected me much the same way. I had 106 degree temperature and medical professionals were stumped by my illness. A urologist diagnosed it as parrot fever. I had it in may and i still was weak in December. My brother bought a parrakeet from some one who was not a qualified dealer.

In Arizona where I live we have valley fever that lives in the dirt. It's not as deadly as this tularemia but I wonder if the tularemia doesn't also just reside in the dirt. It also seemed like the tick that bit the boy was a definite carrier.
I'm 37, born and raised in AZ and have never had valley fever? Where are most incidents concentrated in?? And I read that the tularemia contagion is, literally everywhere.. the soil, feces, all sorts of critters, even the area an infected dead animal lay in, etc. if it's been in the area, it's probably got residual tularemia. Hopefully there aren't many cases here in AZ!
@@andylee5759 you've been exposed to it, it just never made you sick because you are young and healthy. This is a natural immunization, you may never get sick from valley fever.
Looks like pneumonia has so many varieties of virusus to it. The same with the flu and COVID-19. Thanks for the great documentary. We had to learn a lot how protect ourselves but still known just a very small portion...
I wonder if this disease is in animal droppings and the lawn mower effectively explodes the droppings and breathes it in. However the comments about money over health bother me so much.
That it doesn't bother EVERYONE? Is messed up. I'm convinced that most wealth, or money, hoarders; have less empathy than the average person. Hell, some probably have NO empathy. Aaaaalllllll of the wealth hoarders, are out of touch with the way the mass, general population live. Absolutely NO concept of our issues, or life coping needs.
When I was a kid back in the seventies when we were like crazy colored clothes. I remember when I was at my grandparents Farm Place and I was wearing green pants. I normally wear blue jeans or plaid pants. But the day when I was wearing these green pants I had wood ticks all over my pants. I was assuming that the wood ticks couldn't decipher between me and and a bush😮
Sad fact if PROTECTING TOURISM FOR WEEKS meant the poor gentleman died. I saw the same thing happen on Vancouver Island, Canada, and unknowing, ILL TOURISTS WENT HOME TO EUROPE, U.S. MAINLAND Canada and all the pertinent people knew a deadly bacteria was breeding on coastal trees in Rathtrevor Beach Park. The greed/fear associated anything impacting financial realities in tourism should be confronted with manslater charges.
What about feces and urine from contaminated animals left on the grass an soil!?? CDC, I am deeply disappointed in such linear problem solving.What was the boy playing near, or with? Do ticks excrete fecal matters as well? If so, would they not leave the bacteria behind on the bark and grasses? What is the life span outside of a host? Hearing that it could be inhaled, my first thought was how disease is transmitted by bats and rats. Did they really not consider that form of delivery?
It said at the end that they couldn't find it in grass clippings but had found it in fecal matter I believe. They can't figure out how it became airborne
Tiptoepoms i am sure the experts are deeply troubled about your disappointment. Had they just consulted a few armchair epidemiologists this would have been resolved in 72 hours. SMH. I am curious about why it seemed to attack males. Were there any female patients?
I like to see the sense humor in some of the commenter's posts. Death and sickness are not laughing matters but fear, panic and ignorance do not create remedies for such.
I further believe that, having followed the effect of COVID - 19, it seems to me that, the reason behind the high fatality in the infection of titaleamia, is the possibly, the result of cytokine storm & the therapeutic treatment of COVID - 19 may well control the situation, in way of steroid therapy.
@13:45 - those 2 X-rays are from 2 different patients, one of whom has fluid build up around both lungs (probably cardiac in origin) and the second one shows inflammation of the right middle lobe of the lung, which wouldn’t necessarily be severe enough to present in the same way as the 2 mentioned patients in the video.

It was a bio-weapon that got loose. Corona virus is too. They're so scared it will come out, they'd rather let people die. After taking all your money on Drs & drugs though.
I didn’t think I despised anything as much as I do maggots (and flies) but ticks join that list. They could be extinct tomorrow and the world would be better off for it. They cover the local deer, making them miserable. Disgusting little things!
It's amazing how much the medical field has advanced since this outbreak had happened. I hate to see the next bug that comes around that can't be quickly healed.
Completely agree but it’s important to look at it from an environmental perspective. The human race is increasing its population at an alarming rate. With religious fervor replacing reason, people want to pop out as many offspring as possible. Breakthroughs in medicine have increased the lifespan from thirties to late 70’s and beyond. Even the world’s brightest physician can’t keep you alive indefinitely. If we find a cure for cancer(s) some other nasty terminal disease will take its place. We are born, we mature, we die. But we all die. The more overpopulated we are, the closer we inch toward a pandemic. If we don’t limit our population, nature will. It’s as simple as that.
Ticks are crawling mosquitos, they are absolutely disgusting to me. Mosquitos and ticks need to be either destroyed, or altered to not be able to carry diseases. I near barf seeing a tick, they truly are yucky.
We should stop messing up the balance of nature. Lyme disease was purposefully released by those conducting biological research. Birds need bug protein to raise babies.

Actually, it was found to be ground-up dry poop being aerosolised from infected animals by the mower blades. It took much longer to prove though, and the ability to be infected by mowing was only confirmed in 2015.
5:24 they said pneumonia here and bacteria at the beginning and I thought legionnaires at the beginning but it was immediately reinforced when I heard pneumonia
Wondering if dried tick urine or poop on dirt, grass, or brush could be responsible for inhaled bacteria? Or perhaps the same but from an infected bird or rodent?
Actually, you're right. They later discovered the cases were caused by (at least in the landscapers etc) mowing over dried poop from infected animals. That broke it up, they inhaled the dust with bacteria and boom. Pneumonic tularaemia. But in fact, it was only in 2015 they were able to confirm that mowing was, in fact, a method of infection.
@@leemartin3654 I didn't understand what you were talking about at first. Now, seeing it in the thumbnail, Ya! Why is it there at all? I still don't get what you mean when you say "it's a chick thing", though. Do you mean baby chickens?
Tiptoepoms I know this thread is 2 weeks old but it struck me as weirdly funny so I will comment. Lee must have meant tick vs 🐣 I think. And the bedbugs confusion is because this channel keeps mixing up the titles and thumbnails on their videos. There must be bedbugs in another real responders show. But I searched for this Martha ‘s vineyard case because I previously watched a different video where the title / description talked about ticks on martha’s vineyard but the actual video was about a dengue fever outbreak on Maui 😅. So confusing! And lastly I am wondering who Lee thinks they should have quarantined on Martha’s vineyard since people don’t pass the bacteria to other people. Maybe he wants to quarantine all the ticks? Or maybe the bunnies? Oh well, I’m gonna go look for the bedbugs next.
When they were talking about how a lot of the people getting sick, had recently cut their lawn, i thought "it's something in the soil". They video did not say what was causing the illness. I accidentally spelled "was" as "wan" in my comment.
The hibernation takes place in the soil but people didn't contract it directly from the soil, only when the tics left the soil into the general environment. They said that.
I'm no scientist, although the fact they're mowing grass that has already been mowed I would think would achieve nothing. It's possible the grass had a higher ratio of animal droppings/urine when the people who contracted the disease mowed the grass the first time.
You know its going to be a good doco when you hear this particular narrator. Love his voice
"I vote for him just for his voice". Wow!
I agree, a good narrator with the right voice is a bonus and keeps you attentive. I'm quite deaf, but certain voices I'm able to pick up quite clear and distinctly.
Yeah, a good narrative voice is pretty much needed. lol
I’ve had Tularemia. Also grew up the Boston area. Also had Lyme, Babesia, Bartonella, and red water fever. I deteriorated for over a decade and then was bedridden for 3 years while treating. Anyway, I’m much better, and very active. I’m also in nursing school :) it’s possible to get better!
Wonderful news!
Lyme literate doctors are few and far between. Congrats that you got help and better
All the viruses & diseases we have today were deliberately created in a laboratory ie Aids Ebola BSE etc.
Then you call Brazil third world. I never had any of it, never heard none of it. It's like US is some African swamp.
Count your blessings!
My son almost died from this disease, he was on a ventilator in icu for over a month. This was about a year and a half ago, he is still struggling to get back to normal. Please wear masks when mowing lawns.
wow
So Sorry 😢
Praying for your son's recovery!
The island should be held liable for NOT telling residence and visitors that this was happening! I live here and it's infuriating! Thinking of all the landscapers who mow hundreds of lawns a week without masks were at risk! My son did landscaping when he was 17. If he has gotten sick I would have sued!
Did they check compost piles? Many people dump their grass clippings in the compost.
They know about ticks, but they couldn’t find it in the grass.
So how could they warn about other ways where they DIDNT find it?
I hope there is a warning about ticks. If there isn’t then you could sue.
"If he has gotten sick I would have sued!"
You would have lost
Like the video says, the cause WAS;
"After six months of relentless investigation, researchers unravel the mystery. Those who suffered the illness have inadvertently given it to themselves. A contaminated batch of a dietary supplement sold in health food stores across the country is the culprit."

@@mse7501what choice do we have? If we don't care for the ill, who's going to?
Corporate greed of the insurance companies makes me absolutely sick. You are totally right.
My husband got Rocky Mtn. Spotted Fever, in Kansas, where ticks are everywhere, but it took almost 3 weeks to figure out what was wrong, many specialists were seeing him, he was on an special mattress to keep him temp. lower (to no avail), antibiotics were not helping. They finally got the fever lower but it took months for a full recovery, but he was in-patient for 5 weeks.. His lungs never healed - he would wheeze, he was likely never going to father a baby. (We ha 2 - 2 miracles). His health was never "great" after that, he survived but never felt up to par, he passed away from natural causes at age 62. I will always feel the RMF was why his health bottomed out so young..... I feel people should have been warned...
It should be illegal to not alert people of diseases like this 😮

I was 🤔 thinking the same thing. Money was the key factor in NOT TELLING PEOPLE. I think this was why COVID 19 spread so quickly and killed people.
My ex SIL was on the island in June of 2000 He was staying with a well known singer working on some music.. He camped out on grass ..and YEP caught Tularaemia . No one told him about the risks. He went back to Boston and became very ill. He didn't have the cash /insurance to go to the hospital ..Luckily for him his doctor had antibiotic samples in his drawer, he could give him, .plus he luckily didn't develop the deadlier pneumonia variety of the disease. .He was due to marry in September ,almost too exhausted to do all the prep. I lived in Europe and had to arrange some of it for him and my daughter. They have always been very low key about it. If I hadn't seen this video I would never have known how serious it was for them. .How COULD the authorities NOT have warned visitors .I wonder how many more people who left the island became ill like my SIL ,but didn't get the right help.?.
Oh my god my sister and my son both came back with that we did not know what it was very very terrible sick

@@leeanncrowe761also, and fear of creating fear for the many who didn’t catch it.
That’s the risk you take when you travel to places. You never know what illnesses are native to the area where their population could have created immunity and doesn’t get as affected.

Sounds like the $ from tourism is more important than ppls lives
Ilness probably transmitted by ticks.
Yup. I live in a different touristy area of Massachusetts, and it doesn't surprise me at all that they're more worried about tourist money than the residents wellbeing.
My county likes to keep things out of the news that'll scare off tourists. Like, we'll all know there was a drug related shooting, followed by a retaliation killing, but they'll run a story on some god awful "art", that the city paid some ridiculous amount of money for instead, or some upcoming classical music festival. Because, we're a quaint and rustic place, don't you know. There are no drugs, no homeless on every intersection, no robberies. Nothing to see here.
Good to know.
Sucks doesn’t it. You hit the nail on the head. I’m saying this to you before Australia passes the misinformation law and replies like this is suppressed. Be well and blessings from this Australian.
That great to hear!!! You put the all mighty dollar over the health of visitors to.your high price island!
I'm stunned to hear that woman say openly that they were prepared to risk people getting ill because of the tourist dollar.. Why didn't they warn tourists and tell them to stay away until they knew exactly how the disease was transmitted ?
Are you certain there was no notification? I do understand that the island economy was almost completely dependent on tourism, but given recent events, I have no confidence at all that people would have heeded the warning. I suspect at least the island newspaper carried info about the disease if not the "outbreak" status. Keep in mind that even at the close of this vid, there'd been no conclusion and that Tularemia was still happening sporadically. That's been several years now. I guess it's like ticks and Lyme disease. When one is, the other is also and Lyme is pretty serious as well.
The dollar is more important than people
@@ZanysMoon Lyme wasn't always a recognised illness or infection its only recently that doctors have excepted this disease is infecting humans
Plus catching it isn't so easy a feeding tick firstly has to be an infected one then it has to be feeding for around 24 hrs so the majority of people will have noticed a tick much sooner
It's still scary that a common bug can pass this on to you

Nice connection! :-)
I was just about to write the same comment. The program wording was so similar.
here's your sign
That's the right thing to do. The masses are brain dead particularly when it comes to things with such random variability as shark attacks. They already had tested the main theories and found no evidence before the actual cause, contaminated supplements, was found, so stoking public fear would not have been helpful.
This documentary was very interesting and scary as well to see that however people are being infected that Tularemia is such a dangerous disease to contract and how quickly it moves through a human body.
6:47 oh my god that is the absolute WORST feeling. My little kitten had FIP and the med works within a few days but he had 6 seizures in an hour when we brought him in and it was seriously a question of can the er keep him alive for a few days for it to work. Add in that the med isn’t legal here yet so we had to get it from a group that supplies it from China. Our er vets were amazing and they did the shots for us while he was there. My little man is very happy and healthy with no brain damage that we know of which is incredibly surprising tbh. He has a bit of abnormalities in his blood work but his ultrasound was perfect. He and his brothers were incredibly sick and malnourished as babies. The runt weighed 200g at 4 weeks. A large newborn is 150g. Yeti weighed 300g.

When I was in the military I ran a temperature that stayed at 106 and fluctuated very little from 106 degrees for 3 days straight. One sergeant forced me to go to the emergency room. They put 3 IV bags of fluid in me and said if I didn't urinate by the 4th bag they were admitting me. I finally had to go just as they were getting ready to administer the 4th IV bag. I recall having bronchitis or something like that and could barely talk for a month. I also recall feeling slightly delirious when I got back to the barracks.
WTF WAS IT
Nationwide, tularemia is a relatively rare disease, according to the Centers for Disease Control, which has tracked its incidence since 1950. Between 2006 and 2016, there were an average of 172 reported cases per year across the country, with the highest incidence in Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma where there are 25 to 35 cases per year in each state.
In New England, tularemia is extremely rare apart from Martha’s Vineyard, which state statistics show reached a high of 16 confirmed and probable cases in 2008. The majority of cases, according to the state DPH, have been people who work outdoors, especially landscapers.
Tularemia can be contracted in one of several ways. The disease is carried by certain ticks including the common dog tick (also called the wood tick). A person can also become infected after touching, handling, eating or being bitten by an infected animal, or having contact with water or soil that has been contaminated by an infected animal. The most serious form is pneumonic tularemia, which usually results from breathing dusts or aerosols containing the organism. Between 2000 and 2010, more than 40 people on Martha’s Vineyard were diagnosed with the pneumonic variety, according to a Department of Public Health update issued in May 2010.
The last known death from tularemia on Martha’s Vineyard was in 2000, when a 43-year-old landscaper from Chilmark contracted the pneumonic form and failed to seek medical attention in time. Investigators suspected that David Kurth may have inhaled the remains or feces of an infected rodent while mowing a lawn near Squibnocket.

What’s not true?
*mows lawn, dices a billion insects, inhales." The mystery remains..
I think this documentary might have purposefully glossed over the leading hypotheses, which have been in place since the original paper linking cutting grass to the infection... because it's gross. Scientists believe it *is* that they're chopping up animals and animal feces. For example, the species of rabbits on the island make shallow hidden nests in grass and brush. They could be run over without noticing, especially by the people who are professional landscapers using riding lawn mowers and the like. It remains "unproven" because... I'm guessing no one wants to do a study of running over baby bunnies with a lawnmower to find out the infectious potential of aerosolizing them. It's widely accepted as the likely cause, however.
@@Tser Exactly why they were checking cats. Cats love those baby bunnies, to them a rodent is a rodent.
@@Tser the CDC and the government do not like to follow the science. I think we learned that now.
I would have closed the island to tourists and would have been hated by the locals. Losing one life is too many.
to you maybe, but not the government. Look at Ford, the Pinto was going to be the safest car. The first car with ABS (too expensive so they didn't do it) then the bladder in the gas tanks. A person on the board asked the engineers how much they would save if they did not put in the bladders. Then asked a lawyer how much they would be sued. The savings were worth it, so they did not install the bladders. True fact, look it up. In the end if they did it, Pintos would be sold still today and be known as the first safe economy car.
Who hunts for ticks with shorts on?
Well, look at it this way: They’re a hell of a lot easier to see with their dark little bodies against a lighter background. Tularemia! Oh My God! Pasteurella (?) tularensis!!! Really bad news! Holy s- - -! 🥺😲😫

Would Carter have waited a week before seeing a doc if a public health advisory had been issued after the abnormal “”spike” in case was first documented?
U know men r very slow to go to the doctor
Good question!
It wasn't that abnormal at first (other than being the pneumonic form). Tularaemia is endemic to the area so they have cases every year. If you live in an area where a disease like tularaemia is endemic, then you should have the common sense to go to the doctor when you're really sick - especially if you have pneumonia symptoms and a fever of 105-106 for nearly a week.
Here is a tip: To protect your small pets, use Diatomaceous Earth (Amorphous Silica) ! Mozart (my cat) and I live in a forest and he used to pick up a few ticks and fleas. I applied a generous amount of this powder on his fur - especially around his neck and head and back - and set him out again. After about an hour I called him in, and not one bug was on him. (Parts of his fur is pure white so this is how I could tell.) The best kind of Diatomaceous Earth is FOSSIL POWER, from Florida!
We trreated our whole house with it although it was a pretty big job! Not a flea since.
@@FloozieOne Boric acid also works in homes with a flea infestation. Spread it on your carpets, making sure to get corners, cover with a tarp and in 24 hours you are bug free.
Nice
Owning dogs and cats the flea battle was constant, 6 years ago I started to spray the rugs in the halway with food grade diatomaceous earth and have never seen a flea since, either on any of the pets or in the house.
This is brilliant..I shake it thru my chooks every month for mites...very effective
When my son was a teenager,he got tularemia.
One of his favorite things to do was take his 22 and go out, hunting rabbits. He was skinning his rabbit and a bone broke, and it jabbed into his finger. In a few hours it was very swollen and he was very very sick. When we took him to our doctor, who had been
practicing for many
years. He heard the story and gave my son an injection and put him on antibiotics immediately. He didn’t even wait for the lab test to come back because he was familiar with it and knew what it was. My son healed very quickly because our good doctor treated him so quickly. Another teenage boy in his school also got the same disease about the same day, only his turned to pneumonia, and they almost lost him. It is a very nasty disease.
They need to have a bunch of possums protected and released in the area.
Probably would have done a lot to change the image of N. America’s only marsupial 👍🏾
Possums can carry tularemia unfortunately.
Yes they would make a quick job of getting rid of the ti Ms ! 😊

Oh, poor poor, rich little Martha's Vineyard.
I got a rare form of pneumonia in 2017. CDC came to my hospital room and ran tests and everything over a 3 week span. after 3 weeks in the hospital with multiple issues because of the pneumonia and surgery, sepsis, icu stay, you name it, they couldn't find the source. even now all I know is I was infected by another person somewhere in the major city I live in.
I never heard anything about this disease. Some bacteria are very resistent and Science has no easy job to fight them! Thank's God, this disease can be treated with strong antibiotica. There were many cases in the early 60's in Sweden too, but they were able to keep it all under control. THE MANKIND NEEDS SCIENCE MORE THEN EVER BEFORE!
Just a note: Bacteria is already the plural of bacterium = singular.
@@touchofgrey5372 I thank you for this explanation. It was a "lapsus" of mine. I knew it before, but I forgot this. As we also know , antibioticum singular and antibiotica plural.

Okay just wait a minute! First, the title of this video mentions bed bugs and a bite in the night. Then , in the description for this video it says that they finally decided that all of the people that got sick had gotten the sickness from the supplements that they were all taking that had been contaminated . But the video says that they were all sick from ticks by mowing yards where the ticks were. So which is it??
Well, it seems likely to me that the ticks bit the residents while they were mowing the lawn, possibly after the residents brushed by shrubbery or foliage at the edge of their lawns.

I had pneumonia once but in the lower part of one lobe in the winter, I felt faint and had a persistant cough I thought was bronchitis, I went to the doctor and she did CT scan and said I had pneumonia but was more concerned about the tachycardia i lso had.
She wanted to admit me but I said no, I have dogs at home alone, so they agreed to give me IV antibiotics outpatient, I had to go in at specified times over 3 days to get it done.
Day 3 she tried a pill during the IV session, to deal with the tachycardia but it crashed my BP and heart rate way down, so they sent me to another hospital 45 miles away where they shocked the tachycardia away, and then treated the pneumonia.
I dont remember having a fever, certainly not a high one, but it was miserable, just coughing once would spark another and another and another in rapid succession until the lungs were totally empty, and then trying to breathe in would cause another cough! I had to really focus and carefully just inhale slowly to get past the coughing rounds.
They had a respiratory therapist come 2x a day, one of which was like 3 or 4 am, I'd be JUST dozing off on a horrible uncomfortable bed on my back which I never sleep on that way, and he'd wake me for therapy.
I was there a few days, that was just the lower part of one lobe I can't imagine how it is with a fuly involved lung!

I had babesiosis (mentioned early on). Worst flu like symptoms ever, ever 42 days - for exactly one week. Could not walk or talk. Vomitted every half hour to an hour. Throat so sore I couldn't swallow spit despite the vomit. Fever of 102 F. Worst muscle aches ever. Could not stand they hurt so much. Brain fog and headaches. PROFUSE sweating. To the point that my family had to change my sheets at least once in a night as I soaked them. Massive dehydration from all the sweating and vomitting. Worst experience of my life.

I'm 37, born and raised in AZ and have never had valley fever? Where are most incidents concentrated in?? And I read that the tularemia contagion is, literally everywhere.. the soil, feces, all sorts of critters, even the area an infected dead animal lay in, etc. if it's been in the area, it's probably got residual tularemia. Hopefully there aren't many cases here in AZ!
@@andylee5759 you've been exposed to it, it just never made you sick because you are young and healthy. This is a natural immunization, you may never get sick from valley fever.
I’ve had Lyme disease, it SUCKS. Has fevers for like 2 months!!
That was Covid 19 back then!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Looks like pneumonia has so many varieties of virusus to it. The same with the flu and COVID-19. Thanks for the great documentary. We had to learn a lot how protect ourselves but still known just a very small portion...
A dr in Newzealand claims no such thing as viruses . Seems like she thinks it is bacteria. Her name is Sam Bailey.
Illegals working the fields.
I wonder if this disease is in animal droppings and the lawn mower effectively explodes the droppings and breathes it in.
However the comments about money over health bother me so much.
Thank you for being concerned.
Be well neighbor. ♡
That it doesn't bother EVERYONE? Is messed up.
I'm convinced that most wealth, or money, hoarders; have less empathy than the average person. Hell, some probably have NO empathy. Aaaaalllllll of the wealth hoarders, are out of touch with the way the mass, general population live. Absolutely NO concept of our issues, or life coping needs.
the CDC and the government do not like to follow the science. I think we learned that now.
Sounds like Martha's Vinyard needs to get some more Opossums there - they are great tick eaters.
Ya at least they are doing as much as possible to stop the disease
CHEMTRAILS CHEMTRAILS CHEMTRAILS
Without warning, except for all the warnings..
Paula you should have called 911 for Patrick
at Martha's vineyard ? he'd still be waiting...
Yes
When I was a kid back in the seventies when we were like crazy colored clothes. I remember when I was at my grandparents Farm Place and I was wearing green pants. I normally wear blue jeans or plaid pants. But the day when I was wearing these green pants I had wood ticks all over my pants. I was assuming that the wood ticks couldn't decipher between me and and a bush😮
Tularemia... Sounds like a good album title for a death metal band, generally these rough guys love such frivolous names....
Sad fact if PROTECTING TOURISM FOR WEEKS meant the poor gentleman died. I saw the same thing happen on Vancouver Island, Canada, and unknowing, ILL TOURISTS WENT HOME TO EUROPE, U.S. MAINLAND Canada and all the pertinent people knew a deadly bacteria was breeding on coastal trees in Rathtrevor Beach Park.
The greed/fear associated anything impacting financial realities in tourism should be confronted with manslater charges.
the CDC and the government do not like to follow the science. I think we learned that now.
What about feces and urine from contaminated animals left on the grass an soil!?? CDC, I am deeply disappointed in such linear problem solving.What was the boy playing near, or with? Do ticks excrete fecal matters as well? If so, would they not leave the bacteria behind on the bark and grasses? What is the life span outside of a host? Hearing that it could be inhaled, my first thought was how disease is transmitted by bats and rats. Did they really not consider that form of delivery?
It said at the end that they couldn't find it in grass clippings but had found it in fecal matter I believe. They can't figure out how it became airborne
@@reneemb2 I missed that part then. Thanks.
Tiptoepoms i am sure the experts are deeply troubled about your disappointment. Had they just consulted a few armchair epidemiologists this would have been resolved in 72 hours. SMH.
I am curious about why it seemed to attack males. Were there any female patients?
@@ailleananaithnid2566 Hahaha...Awesome!
@@ailleananaithnid2566 Good catch on the gender!
I like to see the sense humor in some of the commenter's posts. Death and sickness are not laughing matters but fear, panic and ignorance do not create remedies for such.
I further believe that, having followed the effect of COVID - 19, it seems to me that, the reason behind the high fatality in the infection of titaleamia, is the possibly, the result of cytokine storm & the therapeutic treatment of COVID - 19 may well control the situation, in way of steroid therapy.
@13:45 - those 2 X-rays are from 2 different patients, one of whom has fluid build up around both lungs (probably cardiac in origin) and the second one shows inflammation of the right middle lobe of the lung, which wouldn’t necessarily be severe enough to present in the same way as the 2 mentioned patients in the video.
IM CURSED..EVERY 8 YRS I GET A DISEASE AND ALSO GET FIRED FROM A JOB..BACK TO BACK.
I TOLD MY MOM..WHAT HAPPENED IN 1999..THEN 2008..THEN IN 2015..THEN IN 2022..SHE WAS FLOORED..IM HEALTHY NOW BUT IN 2022 I LOST MY JOB AND CONTRACTED SCABIES..IM HEALTHY NOW BUT I WORRY AROUND THE 8 YR MARK
Oh geeze, dude. Sorry to hear that😢 I’ve heard it said that major life events happen in cycles.
@@Jenny-ZZR YEA TRUE. I HAVE THIS WEIRD CURSE. IT ALL STARTED IN 2007 WHEN I TOOK HOME A LAVA ROCK FROM THE BIG ISLAND OF HAWAII. IN 2008 THE CURSE STARTED. I THREW THE LAVA ROCKS FROM KILOWAYA INTO A LAKE YET CURSE CONTINUES LOL
Yea right that dont happen
@@lisashackelford5951 IT HAS, TRUE STORY
I figured it out, the disease was being caused by manicured lawns.
More so on the rich peoples lawns??? Lol
@@mollyhorse You bet Honey. Unbelievable ain't it?
Lol why did I think that everyone was just going to stop mowing entirely and everything was going to be overgrown
I lived in upstate NYS, and I am dealing with Lyme Disease since 2012
LEEANN LAYTON hi My daughter have test to Lyme coming back positive and after 1 year loosing weight ask doctor send specialist and infection do test again tell she never have Lyme I believe doctor no much about Lyme because I know my daughter it’s sick
It was a bio-weapon that got loose. Corona virus is too. They're so scared it will come out, they'd rather let people die. After taking all your money on Drs & drugs though.
@@vanessav6918 Look at my comments on this video and the links below it. Detoxing properly helps greatly. Research CDS and Autism.
Try stevia it kills spiroketes in all life stages. Rife therapies. Homeopathy, anything along with AMA. They don't have all the answers.
The poor man 😢😔😥
The description states the source of this infectious disease (Tuleremia) had come from a contaminated dietary supplement. Was this just a mistake?
I didn’t think I despised anything as much as I do maggots (and flies) but ticks join that list. They could be extinct tomorrow and the world would be better off for it. They cover the local deer, making them miserable. Disgusting little things!
Maggots actually serve a purpose but roaches, bed bugs, and fleas????!!!! Mosquitos too!!! I'm gonna ask God about it someday.
All of the above- so grosssss, purpose or not !
Why were the parasite specialists kneeling in the long grass that harbors ticks? 😬
It's amazing how much the medical field has advanced since this outbreak had happened. I hate to see the next bug that comes around that can't be quickly healed.
Covid-19
Caoimhe Graham I think you mean coronavirus.
@@ailleananaithnid2566 covid 19 if we are being technical
Completely agree but it’s important to look at it from an environmental perspective. The human race is increasing its population at an alarming rate. With religious fervor replacing reason, people want to pop out as many offspring as possible. Breakthroughs in medicine have increased the lifespan from thirties to late 70’s and beyond.
Even the world’s brightest physician can’t keep you alive indefinitely. If we find a cure for cancer(s) some other nasty terminal disease will take its place. We are born, we mature, we die. But we all die. The more overpopulated we are, the closer we inch toward a pandemic. If we don’t limit our population, nature will. It’s as simple as that.
Aillean Anaithnid
What I see you saying is that over population leads to a pandemic of sorts. If so, I'm curious how so?
Thanks.
Scary to hear this was happening back then.
it seems the people are more worried about making money than preventing people from getting sick
Vote for Bernie! Take greed out of health care.
sounds like the fake covid vax, doesn't it.
Ticks should be erradicated from this planet
Bedbugs are worse than ticks!
Ticks are crawling mosquitos, they are absolutely disgusting to me.
Mosquitos and ticks need to be either destroyed, or altered to not be able to carry diseases.
I near barf seeing a tick, they truly are yucky.
Agree my daughter get Lyme disease
We should stop messing up the balance of nature. Lyme disease was purposefully released by those conducting biological research. Birds need bug protein to raise babies.
@@katiekane5247 But not ticks! They can thrive on other bugs. Lyme disease was there a long, long time before man was on Earth.
(From deer!)
Good to watch and listen to this everybody you know
First concern is not panic tourists because they rely on tourist $$$$$$.
Priorities nothing to do with medical concern for the patients
Yep
Well, when Martha's Vineyard stared as Amity, there was also a problem with teeth...big teeth...from a fish...a big fish... Looks like the "Summer Dollars" still rule.
Are we going to need a bigger boat ? 🦈
lol
@@scottyfox6376 No, what all Americans need, rich or poor, is a good free nacional health service... Something that won't ruin you and your family. Mine is a small poor European country, but we all get free, or almost free, medical service, the rich and poor alike. The hospitals are old but clean, and the doctors and nurses are good. It's basic but free.
Believe me, I've been battling breast cancer since 2003, and always used the public service. Best wishes from Lisnob Portugal.
@@MariaTorres-hc5uq that sounds great for about 2 seconds. That would never sustain the United States
And how much do you give up in higher taxes and personal freedoms to get that "free" healthcare?
My friend Ben knutson also had tularemia. I was so worried. But luckily he survived.
I wonder if they ever considered it was the ticks getting mashed up in the mowers and the particles becoming airbourne that caused it?
Yes, they did consider it but in all the samples they took of everything that was ejected from the lawn mower they did not find the pathogen.
@@nancyjackson8886 if it was in it the organism would be killed
the CDC and the government do not like to follow the science. I think we learned that now.
@@cardenevans6238 You have no idea about bacteria, do you? LMAO
Actually, it was found to be ground-up dry poop being aerosolised from infected animals by the mower blades. It took much longer to prove though, and the ability to be infected by mowing was only confirmed in 2015.
5:24 they said pneumonia here and bacteria at the beginning and I thought legionnaires at the beginning but it was immediately reinforced when I heard pneumonia
Wondering if dried tick urine or poop on dirt, grass, or brush could be responsible for inhaled bacteria? Or perhaps the same but from an infected bird or rodent?
Actually, you're right. They later discovered the cases were caused by (at least in the landscapers etc) mowing over dried poop from infected animals. That broke it up, they inhaled the dust with bacteria and boom. Pneumonic tularaemia. But in fact, it was only in 2015 they were able to confirm that mowing was, in fact, a method of infection.
We went to M.V. With boat and upon walking about looking for a good place to eat, felt something not good there. Went to the Hampton instead,
There were five times as many cases! As when they first believe that could be an outbreak and they still didn’t quarantine
Why does it say bedbugs when it’s a chick thing there’s no bedbugs even talked about the whole video
@@leemartin3654 I didn't understand what you were talking about at first. Now, seeing it in the thumbnail, Ya! Why is it there at all? I still don't get what you mean when you say "it's a chick thing", though. Do you mean baby chickens?
Tiptoepoms I know this thread is 2 weeks old but it struck me as weirdly funny so I will comment. Lee must have meant tick vs 🐣 I think. And the bedbugs confusion is because this channel keeps mixing up the titles and thumbnails on their videos. There must be bedbugs in another real responders show.
But I searched for this Martha ‘s vineyard case because I previously watched a different video where the title / description talked about ticks on martha’s vineyard but the actual video was about a dengue fever outbreak on Maui 😅. So confusing!
And lastly I am wondering who Lee thinks they should have quarantined on Martha’s vineyard since people don’t pass the bacteria to other people. Maybe he wants to quarantine all the ticks? Or maybe the bunnies? Oh well, I’m gonna go look for the bedbugs next.
They didn’t want to start a panic in tourist season?? Sounds like concealing the shark attack in JAWS.
My first thought when they talked about the lawn cutting was "it's in the soil", still waiting to hear if I'm right or not XD
Edit: It didn't say -_-
Pyro Animus what? You make no sense.🤔
When they were talking about how a lot of the people getting sick, had recently cut their lawn, i thought "it's something in the soil". They video did not say what was causing the illness. I accidentally spelled "was" as "wan" in my comment.
The hibernation takes place in the soil but people didn't contract it directly from the soil, only when the tics left the soil into the general environment. They said that.
I'm no scientist, although the fact they're mowing grass that has already been mowed I would think would achieve nothing. It's possible the grass had a higher ratio of animal droppings/urine when the people who contracted the disease mowed the grass the first time.
Raccoons feces can kill cows and horses if they eat the hay that has feces in it
The amount of commercials throughout all this channels videos is intolerable and a sign of pure greed.
better off just turning the volume down!
If you don't have add block then I suggest you slide to the end of the video then back to restart & you'll have no adds.😀
Drag the video to the end then hit replay ads dissappear it's not rocket science but there is a knack of when you restart the video
