Yes, but some people have a thick head of hair and one of these buggers can burrow into their scalps. I thought shampooing would wash anything out, until I found one buried in the top of my head.
yup, my doctor who is internationally recognized as a top lyme/infectious desease expert would agree. Not to mention lymes has a shady history. First outbreak was by a bioweapons facility on plum island. A disease discovered by a man who self proclaimed working for the goverment to weaponizing ticks with weapons to weaken, not neccesarily kill the enemy He recieved the nobel prize for it. There was also a big outbreak by Grantsville, Utah. Right next to a bioweapon facility. When you look at the history of the response to it by the cdc and other entities, it looks even worse. Follow that money trail of you want an interesting story. Also those pathogens have been proven to be spread by far more than just ticks.
I think initially I was acutely sick and just thought I had something similar to the flu . I never remember being bitten by a tick so that was not on my radar or the doctors . Then the following month I started having weird symptoms. I’ve been to so many doctors and even the Mayo Clinic and no one could figure it out until my daughter talked to her friend who is a doctor and specializes in tick diseases. She emailed me a list of symptoms of different tick diseases and I had 28 symptoms so I got tested. I don’t have Lyme just Babesia .
Babesiosis is no joke! It’s been such a journey for me. I have been on malaria medication for six months and I’m feeling like myself again. I still have some healing ❤️🩹 to do my doctor also added primaquine and artemisia to my regimen. I’m so sorry for all of you who have suffered from this disease. It’s soo hard.
I've had in since 10 and I'm almost 26 currently trying not to die as it came out of dormancy Im in Oregon they don't believe in disease here nor do they care if you die from it.
I’m in Oregon too, and definitely was infected here. I live on the coast but also spent time in Central Oregon. I have Babesia Odocoilei and also trying not to die.
I’m sorry to hear, but it’s the same in Europe. They don’t talk about it, don’t test it. Same with Lyme patients- you can get one round of doxycycline, and that’s It. No one will follow you up, take you to controls, care about relapses, thy don’t want you as a patient at all. They are afraid of losing their license and their job advancement. But actually, specially after Covid, a lot of people now say do it’s actually don’t care at all about the patients. Even an ordinary thing like high bloodpressure: why would a doctor prescribe medication, that does a serious impact on the body, from just measuring the blood pressure two times? Most people will easily messure their bloodpressure at home morning and evening a month, and the data goes directly to the doctor, where he can watch the number and a graf over how the bloodpressure really is. It takes a second for the doctor to take in this knowledge! Why will he not use it? Normally the bloodpressure goes up and down during the day, depending of what you do and your state of mind, what you eat etc. And if you easily could get a good correct picture of your patients bloodpressure, why would you not? Truth is it would show some patients have too high dosage of medication and having too low bloodpressure- that may be why they have problem with balance. Truth also is you REALLY can make an impact on your bloodpressure by making healthy changes, and get your blood pressure normal and medication free! The medications have side effects, all have side effects, so stay healthy without these medications may add many many years to your life, and increase life pleasure! 1) Stay away from things that increase bloodpressure, like salt, salty food and sauces- there are so many real good spices, you will not miss it! 2) Get you weight down - this will lower your blood pressure 100% sure, and your blood sugar also. To do that you: 3) Eat healthy, hit, veggies, lean meat, fish, lentils, beans, etc. 4) Exercise: any way you like, just keep moving and have fun. 5) Take good supplements proven to lower bloodpressure: Q enzym 10- start at 100 mg. This and omega 3 and 6 will also be very good for your heart. Hibiscus tea, beet juice and garlic is good to add into your diet. Do this, and you will after some time start to feel better, and sleep better, too. Whatever health issue you have, starting a healthier life will always be beneficial, and that is a good feeling that there are actually something we can do, even if we struggle with bio weapon initiated hell diseases as Lyme. I pray we all will have a good year. Take care❤
I feel babesia and bartonella are more common than lyme, but are just as ignored. I get babesia flares too. I grow artemisia absinthium to take, I make colloidal silver, take methylene blue, artemisin, neem leaf, cinchona bark, cryptolepsis, and supplements for muscle recovery. The life cycle of babesia is 3 months, so you have to treat a while. Anthelmintics can help too. Hopefully someday soon these infections are known and acknowledged by everyone.
These “advices for protection” makes me so mad and sad, because I thought I was safe when I followed these rules, but I was NOT! I got Borrelia in my nervous system because a tick full of blood dropped from a cat or bird or mouse down in a pile of dead leaves on my terrace outside my house in my little garden, I live in a city, and I put my hands and arms in this pile and took it away. And not until after I got very ill, I read that after a tick has filled herself with blood from a victim, it let go, drop down, and soon it lays 3-4000 EGGS, and when these hatches soon after, they go nowhere, but wait until someone walked into it! So PLEASE do NOT give these “advices”, but tell the truth so people can decide for themselves if they will take that risk or not - and if they do, they have a better understanding of how important it is to check the body every day- and the most effective way: To take of clothes outside and put them in a dryer on full heat for 15 -30 minutes. Take care everyone, be happy but be wise also.
About the climate hypothesis & range, there's no support with data about Babesiosa from regions that are characteristic wet & warm. Those ten states indicated yet no southeast USA? Seriously,..
You need to learn to shutup. Climate Change/Global Warming is the ONLY accepted dogma causal agent. Otherwise, you may be detained for being a misinformation criminal. Watch YOUR step!!
Regional changes related to climate change (e.g. milder winters in areas with cold winters) can expand the time of the year warm enough for ticks to be most active. I'm not sure why you brought up the SE US. This is not about hotter summers.
My father-in-law just passed away from this today, and he was in a small hospital that treated him with an antibiotic for three days before they transferred him to a bigger hospital and finally got him on anti-parasitic. By then it was too late. He’s 80 and his kidneys and liver shut down.
@@MichelleLasheski-gv4pv I’m So sorry for your loss.❤🙏🏻 Hospitals should be the safest place to be, and be held accountable when they’re not. Unfortunately this is not happening for ordinary ppl.
If these big corporations would stop killing off the natural habitat for these deer, they wouldn’t be so close to our homes, getting on our pets and bringing them into our homes. I have a deer that comes into my yard every day with her twin babies, and I have a dog and a cat, that I treat with Frontline, but the pets still bring these bloodsuckers into the house. People should stop being greedy, stop, thinking about money in building more homes, more businesses, more car washes that we don’t need. I pray nobody else has a loved one that passes away from this because it was just horrific.
I just had a deer tick on me last week. Got it off in under 24 hours. Accidentally broke the head off a little in me. Now it’s been itchy for a week and I’m just getting over a cold or sinus infection. I think I’m good because I’m young enough and healthy. Any advice?
@@66NOI773H it is an antibiotic. I think the nope was the reaction to "I'm young and healthy.". Young and healthy isn't much of a defense against tick diseases. In fact, they destroy young healthy lives and people end up with debilitating conditions
Doxy doesnt even kill lymes in a petri dish. The CDC recommendations and proticals are bogus. I have lymes and several coinfections. Also ELISA tests are extreamly faulty. conventional western medicine is sorely lacking when it comes to these topics. SORELY. Find a good functional/integrative medicine doctor. Forum Health has many to choose from and will do telehealth appointments if needed so location willl be less of an issue. It has been my experiance that it is a more up front cost. But getting to and fixing the root causes typically isnt covered by insurances. Also concidering the other path of endless symptom managment through thr conventional system is a FAAAR more expensive alternative. And years for suffering is no fun. Took me 15 years of endless tail chasing before I found a root cause oriented doctor. One would think all doctors are trained that way. There not or at least not allowed to when insurances dictate what your doctor can and can't do. Usually an insurance rep with no more than a highschool deplimia tasked with making the cooperation money is calling the shots for your doctor. Practicing without a licence is illegal, yet they do it anyways. Why? Big money.
IMO.... Diagnosis, tracking, and reporting is lagging in all tick borne diseases. I believe there's been more infection for longer than recognized

May I ask which strain and your symptoms. Lyme and bartonellosis patient figuring this out myself
I was in the ICU for 9 days and almost died 3x due to babesiosis.

I think Babesia odocoilei is far more widespread and severe than Drs know.
@Joan11ify Doctors don't know much when it comes to disease unfortunately:( it can be very severe but they treat it like it goes away.

She says Microti is the most common? Not anymore. Odocoilei is the one spreading now and the toughest to treat.
Add Ohio because my mom has this currently.

My father in law just passed away today from this in central PA. It was horrible!!
Recently discovered Babeisa odocoilei may be far more abundant than B microti, and cause severe neurological symptoms.
Ugh, ticks & bugs that bite can be among toxic organisms that vector a pathogen & parasite. Thx for the caution.
My uncle passed from this last week in MN.
Nice explanation, Madeline..
If parasitic why not treat As parasitic
Bingo!
