We drew the Canadian flag incorrectly. Our sincere apologies to all our Canadian viewers (and our Canadian team members). Sorry!
MinuteEarth Said like a true Canadian!
No worries
It's okay. It's only a imaginary country anyways
Sorry for having a hard to draw flag. Real sorry about it. Sorry.
I'm sorry that happened too.. Our flag is kind of hard to draw. Our fault!
Hey MinuteEarth, you missed something! There is a Lyme Disease vaccine, not just for dogs it works on humans too. Production stopped because there wasn't enough call for it at the time making it to expensive to produce.
Do you think it will be brought back now that the disease is more widespread?
Beat me to the punch Queen Ampharos.
My understanding was liability discouraged people from continuing to produce and give the vaccine (not sure what the effective rate of the vaccine was for humans, but if mouse carry the disease, than herd immunity is likely not a goal, so it would have to be an individual to individual decision).
I am surprised there hasn't been more discussion of the vaccine, but there are other tick born illnesses that are becoming problematic, so making sure that there are predators that eat ticks, as well as predators that control any carrier populations seem like a wise move. I am thinking particularly of the Alpha-Gal symptoms caused by Lonestar tick bites.
There was also some (unfounded) concern that it might cause arthritis and it happened at the same time as the fraudulent MMR/ autism claims so that tanked demand even further. The manufacturer was getting lawsuits on a product that wasn't a big money-spinner anyway so they withdrew it.
The patent has expired now so it would be cheap to bring it back.
www.healthline.com/health-news/how-vaccine-fears-helped-kill-the-lyme-disease-vaccine#8
It looks like a French company is trying a relaunch, with a slight difference formula. They'll just past trials.
The previous one could be up to 90% affective, so it looks good.
It's just a shame that the first was taken off the market, as it delays all further treatment options.
@@notdaveschannel9843 I wouldn't go so far as to say it would be cheap.
What it means is that any company that saw value in the vaccine could go through the work of getting approval for them to make a 'generic' version of the vaccine. This would be a lengthy and somewhat costly enterprise (though not as much as whipping it up from scratch).
Cheapest would be for the former maker (or whomever owns that division now) to return to production, though I am guessing that you would need to sell a heck of a lot of units to make even that payoff. Lets say, 2-3 million, depending on what they feel they could charge for it or what insurance companies would reimburse. Of course the more they think they can sell the lower the price they would 'need' to charge.
@@JAClary I didn't realise you needed approval to produce a generic once the patent expires.
I'm from CT and have had to deal with Lyme disease prevention my whole life. I have some tips for avoiding ticks.
1) Don't go into tall grass! Ticks love tall grasses. They can hide from things that want to eat them and munch on the grass itself.
2) If you go into a woodsy area, check your arms, legs, and neck immediately after for small bugs. The deer ticks that carry lime are about the size of a poppy seed, or 2 - 3 mm (.078 to .137 inches)
3) Once you get home, you need to check your whole body in a mirror. Ticks look like small sunspots or freckles. Make sure new freckles aren't actually bugs.
4) A surprising fact, it doesn't hurt when bitten! Ticks numb the site to get a quick meal. Once the numbing wears off, they usually jump off of you, and it feels like you were bitten. Check the spot. If it's red, keep a close eye on it. If you start getting fatigued, joint/muscle pain, or fever, go to a doctor and say you may have Lyme Disease.
Have fun in forests!
1:30 we should have supported for Tom all this time instead of Jerry.
And pikachu should have been allowed to evolve to a raichu.
We’ve chosen the wrong side twice and history will condemn us for it.
I always knew Jerry would come back and bite us in the ass.....
He was always gonna rat us out..
Kartik Panickar he ratted on us... the rat
"The friendly rat
told the cat
'Shut your trap!'"
I may be paraphrasing.
That's not Pikachu.
It's yellow Strange electric mouse! OK!?
oh and Raichu is not raichu
It's *Brownish Orange Tan Strange electric wired mouse.*
:3
XD
1:32 who on earth thought it was a good idea to draw the Canadian flag like that
(Edit: lol I hope that didn’t sound too accusatory this channel is fantastic)
Whoops! Sincere apologies to our Canadian friends
MinuteEarth lol
MinuteEarth thanks for your apology
There was an attempt.
@MinuteEarth
Don't sweat it, it's not a big deal.
At least the maple leaf wasn't a weed leaf
*These mice have joined the anti-vax group chat*
How does that make sense? There is no lyme vaccine.
@@blank2588 Vaccines are about triggering the Memory function of the Immune System. As such they work with Bacteria as well as Viruses, just in slightly different ways. And really anything else the Immune System can remember and we can get it to remember (without to many side effects).
What you think about is Antivral Drugs vs Antibiotics, wich are for *treating* the Infection.
Vaccines are usually about *preventing* the disesaes from getting serious. But a few are also used in Treatments for reasons you have to ask a doctor about.

I love how polite the Canucks are for Minute Earth misdrawing the Canadian flag.
I couldnt ask for a better Northern Neighbor

just wait till its majority Chinese Indian and Muslim...then will not be so.'nice'
@@fabulousdolphin4221 It's not as bad, most Chinese return after getting their education and the older folks can't adjust to the new reality whatsoever so they go back as well x) Not to mention that CCP's control of their citizens on student visas is actually even stronger when they're abroad (mostly because they're in a "hostile environment" full of "subversive propaganda" XD)
@@fabulousdolphin4221 And I've heard stuff like "fuck it's so cold I'd rather go to Poland" from indian people :v
I saw literally twenty doctors and spend a week in hospital before they discovered I had Lyme's. Then I was cured with just a simple antibiotics cure. It was my third one by then because of all the misdiagnoses, but Lyme has a different kind of antibiotics. This was about three years ago, so I hoped the doctors have become better at identifying Lyme's in the mean time. I somehow doubt it. Probably only very few of the 20 doctors got informed about the final diagnosis.
I was lucky it was early phase. Lyme's ruins lives.
It's lyme and yes it ruins lives
thank you so much minute earth for talking about this!
As a current Lyme sufferer in treatment its really comforting to see the surge in the publicity of Lyme as a disease. Especially coming from a channel near to my heart
Had a classmate in middleschool in a Portland/Gresham Oregon school get Lyme disease, she was out of class for a really long time, a couple months. She told us that the doctors refused to believe she had anything and told her she was faking it or it was all in her head.
i love the mice that look like Pikachu (1:09), Mickey (1:19), and Jerry (1:27).
Same
U missed Olaf....it's where there is mickey
This vid is great as always! 👍
I live in Connecticut and quite close to Lyme and my neighbor (who’s an older man) was one of the first cases of Lyme in CT. He has lived in that house his whole life, he got Lyme in that yard. Help me
I live 20 minutes from Lyme, CT and I just pulled a deer tick off of my neck after hiking with my dog yesterday. It’s not the first tick I’ve removed and it won’t be the last. Around here they’re so common, the best thing to do is to check yourself after being outside and to remove them promptly by gently pulling from the base. If they’re not attached for long you’re unlikely to be infected. So don’t panic about Lyme disease, just take precautions and be safe as you would with any disease :)
Yeah ok. That’s bullshit.
As a Czech I am happy about you drawing the flag right, but I am also concerned that Lyme disease is all around me :-D
It's not drawn right, it's backwards because of the way it is mounted in the drawing.
FML that video made me scratch myself.
Better Czech yourself regularly.
These MinuteEarth puns are so... sublyme.
Could mice or ticks be made immune to the disease the gene editing that was proposed for mosquitoes and malaria?
I thought the same thing. However this (gene editing a large population) is the "last resort" of preventing a disease.
We actually *have* a vaccine, but Anti-Vaxers got it pulled: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyme_disease#Vaccination
it is also not quite as deadly as Malaria, so it is far from that criticial.
Good luck genetically editing tens of millions of wild mice or billions of ticks. Mosquitoes are easy because they breed in a few easily controllable spots, not all over in every single random place they can find...
@@KuK137 It does not need to be all of them. Indeed a 95% quoate is usually enough for herd-immunity to kick in.
And as long as it is evolutionary beneficial, selection presure will deal with it.
My God all of you are gene therapy crazy.
We may require more cats...
tbh i already know most of the stuff covered in your vids, but i still always watch them for that one pun at the end
Who invited pikachu into the mouse squad? So I can't touch pikachu?
Edit: I think target the shop carried the disease XD (joke)
Pikachu is a mouse
ᴀɴɪᴍᴇ ғᴀɴ ɢɪʀʟ 777 (fleck●ω●) I know owo
Eh Pikachu is constantly blasting electricity around, that should kill all the ticks on it
How timely - I was just diagnosed with Lyme Disease this past Saturday. Classic bulls-eye rash, muscle aches, head ache, nausea, etc. Nothing to mess around with. I went to bed at 8:30 Saturday night and suffered fitful sleep filled with nightmares. I couldn't get up until 2pm Sunday afternoon. Sucked!
Is that *Jerry* in the thumbnail
Ye
yep he might be spreading it
😂
And Mickey in Florida too - How come MinuteEarth gets a free-pass when it comes to copyright/trademark strikes from Di$ney and/or WB? (I'm happy that they do..)

I believe its Jerry
Tom
Tom!!! Ppl the freaking mouse is Tom!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

1:32 Never seen a Canadian flag that looks like that before...
Well, their President is not even able to draw their own flag properly so...

?? Trump is Prime minister ??
I'm talking about american, who have NO CLUE about geography and foreign culture.
Because it's not like it was a rare occurrence error, it happens OFTEN... Very often... Even on huge media.
We drew the Canadian flag inaccurately. Our apologies
Amazing! fund more research like these
That "Lymelight" pun at the end got me.
1:13
Who Sees That Yellow Strange Electric Mouse?
Who's That Pokemon!?
Anyone: it's pikach-
Me: YELLOW STRANGE ELECTRIC MOUSE!!! >:3
I love your videos!
Lyme disease is a worldwide epidemic, and all of the US is affected by it, not just northern states. I'm from Florida, got bit by a tick, and very sick from it ever since, plus co infections to boot, Babesia, and Erlichia to name a couple. What's worse I got bit by something again since I was tested, and took pics, because I didn't know much about Lyme at the time, I assumed the bite was a spider bite, since friends said that's what it probably was, until I showed my doc who said it looked like a tick bite, so now I have to be retested, as since that bite, my lymph nodes have had so much pain and problems, and very stiff neck. I have a constant high white blood cell count, and I'm anemic, this all added to the health problems including huge neuro problems I've already been having previously from my first tick bite. Lyme is a very very serious worldwide concern, even a few cases found in Egypt, and I know Australia has some huge problems of it there according to what I've read and seen.
I can't believe how fast this has moved from a new scary but rare disease to watch for while camping to a thing that destroyed the livelihood of relatives and many others. It was in the public eye in the 80s, and only 20ish years later it's seemingly all over. Rats are a terrifying carrier.
I got lymes in Ireland in 2018 was hospitlised for a month, I was paralysed on the left hand side of my body for 4 months, it's 2020 now and i still have severe fatigue brain fog and memory loss, but I'm getting there slowly but surely.
Best advice I can give to anyone interested is to take precautions when you're outdoors, cover up, wear bright coloured clothing and use insect repellant (deets). Always check yourself after being outdoors.
That ending pun just... beautiful.
I really love your channel keep going like that guys
Boy, I missed the guitar backgrounds with these videos
Some helpful advice the video left out. If you are bitten by a tick, get a nurse to remove it (or do it yourself) and save it. The tick can be sent for testing to see if the tick has Lyme disease. If it tests positive you can get shots or something to keep the infection from taking hold of you.
Ive red about the lyme desese in warrior cats. They used blazing star to heal. That might not work on humans though.
1:15 *Pikachu.* (😁)
1:19 Mickey Mouse
1:27 Jerry
1:19 also Olaf
Pika Pika
I SAW PIKACHU
It feels like the video was originally going to end at 1:37 but they decided that was too depressing.
Probably because the puns are usually at the end
Detective Pikachu analysing the mice situation! :D
In the US, the problem is the closure of farms near urban areas. These farms used to serve as a barrier between cites and nature but increased mechanization has led to bigger farms in areas unbroken by roads and utilities. The older smaller farms, now abandoned, revert to wild and critters scamper right up to the suburbs and beyond.
Ok, I had that rush like 8 or 9 years ago. The ring grew and grew and than that thing disappeared. I had no idea what it was. Does anybody know what should I do now? Am I in danger? Or are there any other reasons for such a rush?
I love field mice! They are literally the cutest beings in Earth! 🥰🐭 I know they carry a lot of disease though!
The University of Minnesota sponsors a lot! But I’m not complaining cause I live in Minnesota and plan on going to UofM
So quick question maybe im not thinking about this right but what about the middle ages where mice carried the black death. Why wasn't this a major start of this illness. Thanks liked the video
1:08 beware of that yellow mouse with the black stripes, it my shock you :D
My Czech mum got Lyme disease when she was little.
Lol I like all your Pokemon Easter eggs. Everyone in find one I liked the video
Lyme disease has destroyed my life. It’s a “snowflake” disease- no two people have the same symptoms or treatment needs (MS is like this too). Symptoms can include depression, inability to walk, amnesia, schizophrenia, brain fog, and extreme lethargy. There are hundreds more symptoms.
If you think you’ve been exposed, get tested for common borrelia coinfections: babesia, bartonella, erlichea, etc.
I've been right there with you, for a little over two years my local doctor diagnosed me with chronic fatigue from my symptoms of general lethargy and brain fog and simply told me to wait it out. It wasn't until almost three years in we found a Lyme expert who from moment one of walking into his office told me to hold my arms out straight. My arms were shaking like a leaf and he said ya that's one of his big tells for Lyme. About a year of treatment and I'm finally getting back on my feet. It's absolute hell but you can do it, the medicine and expertise are out there it's just getting you to them.
Nick C Like Raf has said, you might have something other than Lyme disease. I suspect that you have already done a lot of research but I do recommend that you follow his advise and look into fatigue related diseases. There are also plenty of other rare diseases. Try to look up how many of them match up with your symptoms.
Raf Naegels no...
Raf Naegels hi Raf, that’s a common misconception. I for one have taken every antibiotic under the sun and still have positive tests for borrelia. CFS has become a label used to discount the symptoms of people who haven’t been accurately diagnosed by existing test methods.
@@nickc3657 That's rough I've had it 9 years ago as well, but mine was hot and fast. I had extreme pain in my knees and a fever of 105. I was fortunate as it seems to be gone after a round of antibiotics. Though some things I deal with still I believe are a result of it. For example a lot of perfumes, air fresheners, cleaners and such give me a massive head ache. I didn't have this problem before I had Lyme and it started right after. That never got better.
i appreciate your optimism when it comes to truly terrifying things like climate change that these are all problems that we can and will eventually solve its honestly refreshing hearing that we can solve these issues and not just the planets on fire and there is nothing we can do about it but lay down and die
I always look forward to seeing the Pokémon cameo. XD
0:47 Wait, I've seen this one before
*_flashback to 14th century_*
*Lyme Disease:* YOU PICKED UP THE WRONG HOUSE FOOL!!!
*My Health:* _Ah, sh--, here we go again._
The problem on our island is not mice, but deer. They are also not good at grooming away ticks, and we have so many deer that you can not step on a piece of grass without having to check for ticks. I found a baby hedgehog once that was dehydrated and dying because of all the ticks it had :-(
This video made me all itchy
Thanks
My classmate has Luke’s disease he spent a couple years in the hospital and barely ever shows up
Fun fact: I was diagnosed and treated for having lyme disease. Oddly though I never got the target shaped rash or a fever
Erythema migrans only manifests in about 30% of patients. I was in that minority and was still misdiagnosed. Granted it was thirteen years ago.
I think I'm immune to ticks biting into me, because several times I've went to the forest, spent the whole next day indoors and found a tick walking on me still not attached to me. I guess they don't like my sweat-type and therefore never bite into me. Could also be a coincidence ofc, just seems weird that a tick would spend 24 hours still not attaching. Could also be that they actually bite into me and then don't like my blood type and immediatly release themselves after that. In that case I'm not safe. Does anybody know about this, whether they don't like certain types of sweat/blood?
One challenge to overcome, is making a video that is not filled with an ad for half the video.
@Minute Earth
Have you done your duolingo?
What’s the infection rate for pickachu?
That Canadian flag at 1:31 is pretty disappointing
I dont see how a small degree change in global temperature (over a few decade period) can have enough of effect on mice moving north. This last winter here was one of the coldest on record, so how does that come into play when you way that just warmer winters cause more mice to go north, because winters have not be warmer.
1:22 I see what you did I love all the references
How effective is Pikachu at self cleaning ticks?
A+ art and puns on this one

look into lab 277 off the coast of Lyme Connecticut .
Does Indonesia have it
If it is howmany the tiks, and disise
Got Lyme disease last week. Feelsbadman.
I'm in lyme ct everybody sprays but its frowned upon because everyone has well water and we're right on the ct river, also there's 10 chipmunks for every mouse here and everybody does get lyme disease no matter how much deep woods spray you put on but know one I know has gotten the beef allergy that's starting to pop up in other parts of the country
Thank you for making this video! 🥚🐧
Wasn't there a vaccine that was discontinued due to side effects? Maybe more effort should be put into better immunization!
Yeah for its side effects, but also it not being reliably effective
There was a vaccine that was discontinued because anti-vaxxers scared away potential customers. newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-minute-will-there-be-a-lyme-disease-vaccine-for-humans/
Side effects are extremely rare
@@ketsi3079 But so is lyme. There's always a benefit-harm estimation which apparently wasn't too favorable for the vaccine. It's the same reason why the general public isn't vaccinated against rabies because the vaccine is quite expensive and rabies is exeedingly rare.
I have the lucky trait that I rarely get bitten by any bloodsucking bugs.
No Moskitos, no ticks nothing they don't like me so much.
I never had a tick (in 23 years of life) despite being in nature a lot and where are a, lot of ticks too (my sister, brother and especially my dogs get them).
But anyway I always search myself for ticks afterwards to be save.
You can never be sure and I always watch out.
You should always check yourself for ticks after going outside in wooded areas. To contract Lyme disease the tick needs to bite you for 48-72 hours, act often and quickly! I'm a research assistant for a professor writing papers on Lyme disease on how to solve the Lyme disease problem.
I read about 8 hours (nymph stadium) to 24 (adult tick) hours, until they inject the borellia. Do you know of a an authoritative source for the latest facts of this?
not enough puns used in this one. I expect more from the team
First the Koala Chlamydia ward, now studying disease carried by ticks. Man, John Oliver is really putting a lot of effort into his backup STEM carrier.
Man, your science videos are really good! The sponsor ads are the only not good thing in the video though. But besides that, the rest is incredibly educational and inspirational! Hopefully someone working for the government will see these videos and put those ideas to the big guy's heads.
Mouse: Look at my baby!
Tick: Yeah!
Tick: Look at my baby!
Lyme disease: Yeah!
Lyme disease: I’m evil!
Another reason ticks are now thriving in the northeastern United States Imports of Canada, also related to climate change, it because the winters I'm not as cold as they used to be and below freezing temperatures are not lasting as long as they used to be. It's common now for Winters and Pennsylvania, for example, to be broken up by multiple thaws and abnormally warm periods, instead of temperatures staying cold all winter long. This allows ticks to more easily survive our winters.
I live in CT
1:31 Omg the way the Canadian flag is drawn

Habitat fragmentation leads to a loss of biodiversity which increases the number of competent hosts for tick borne disease such as lyme disease.
My dad got Lyme while working in Old Lyme, CT (next door to Lyme proper) in 1988. Took a few years to get diagnosed or treated, at which point it'd already done a lot of damage...and the high-dose rounds of antibiotics made him allergic to them, too.
Can't we just genetically modify the DNA of either Lyme's or of ticks to not spread anymore? Like malaria in mosquitos?
just? JUST?!!? This stuff is hard.
@@MindLaboratory Yea, and I said "we" like I'm doing a single damn thing to help. Ticks just really creep me out, I wouldn't mind if they were wiped out although I'm sure that would have some serious trickle down effects on an ecosystem and the animals that eat them.
Yes, there are current efforts at Harvard University/MIT to pursuing genetic modification as a solution. Reducing the strength of LD vectors is complex and needs more attention as the disease spreads geographically.
@@QuanChiKombat I guess we could just ask the government for the cure since they created Lyme's disease in the first place.
1:11 the pikachu😂😂
Dear ME!
I live in the UK, and puns are part of my daily news consumption. Every time I read or hear one, I die a little inside. Please don't waste my life away! 😢
*i got bit by a tick :`( am i in danger?*
How do get the Canadian flag like that? I'm seriously curious as to what the artist was thinking.
1:35 that pun was so bad I thought we were at the end of the video.
For those of you who keep saying they had insufficient interest in the Lymerix vaccine, what ACTUALLY happened is that those who got the vaccine, many developed the same symptoms of Lyme long-term and then tested positive for Lyme. I have a friend who was one of these people. This is why the vaccine was discontinued. It was a total failure and literally cost some people their lives. I have Lyme, as well, and my advice to you is to not encourage the idea of another disastrous vaccine, but rather educate people on the importance of prevention. Also, educating doctors in their knowledge and treatment of this often complex and chronic illness is another desperately needed step in the right direction. Insurance companies should also be forced to cover Lyme treatment and states should not exclude IV antibiotics for possible treatment as this is one of the many reasons why some develop a long-term debilitating infection.
People don't believe that Lyme disease exists here, so there are very very few doctors who are willing to diagnose it and help you with treatment. My mom discovered she had Lyme a few years ago (over 20 years of her not knowing!). She was lucky to find a doctor who acknowledges its existence. I hope we can solve this disease.
I live in Canada and know someone who has lyme disease, well, I haven't talked much if at all to them but I I've seen them, know people who know them, know of their existence and go to the same school as them. 1:31 That's not how Canada's flag looks. The red lines should be on the side. Great video anyways, I do enjoy this channel.
