I wake up most mornings with some level of pain depending on 🤷🏻♀️ but this morning I wasn't sure if I'd be able to walk at all, much less walk Sadie.
Fortunately I know how to stretch and soothe and heat it out. But today my joints are all unusually achy. I thought maybe it's because I had all my windows open with the somewhat cooler but definitely more humid air. So I turned on the a/c.
And then I caught sight of what I thought was a mosquito bite. I am no longer certain that it was a mosquito that bit me. It looks a little tick-like. So, a visit to the urgent care tomorrow.
Another verse in the "it's the most horrible time of the year" song. 🎶

Habe in den letzten Wochen aus dem Bett heraus mit Otto Kölbl und Florian Heigl noch diesen Text geschrieben:
"Verkannt, verleugnet, vergessen: Die grausame Behandlung komplex chronisch Kranker"
Bitte lest und teilt ihn.
Danke euch allen. Passt auf euch auf. Und geht auf die Straße gegen die f*ck AfD. In Gedanken bei euch!

There is a link between new allergies and #Lyme. I thought the eczema and sun sensitivity were due to the massive amount of doxycyline I was taking. Instead, it turns out I've developed allergies to grasses and composite flowers (just about every plant in my garden...) #ticks are abhorrent. https://keepsmilin4abbie.org/could-lyme-disease-be-your-unseen-trigger-for-allergies/#:~:text=People%20dealing%20with%20chronic%20Lyme,the%20original%20threat%20has%20passed.

Another use for #DuctTape and #TickControl (from the #UniversityOfRhodeIsland)
#DeTick With Duct Tape
Excerpt: "Of the 1,001 things duct tape is good for, it is a very effective way to de-tick yourself when larvae ticks climb on. With ticks, it works best to get them before they dig in and start to feed. Lint rollers also work but duct tape is stickier (and you can probably find 5 or 10 other things to use your duct tape for).Our #TickSmart Tip for August and September is to always have sticky duct tape ready just in case of a tick swarm. Duck Brand tape even comes in an appropriate lime (#Lyme) green color!"

Have you ever seen a tick via microscope? Here's your chance to see the tick that was on me earlier today.
Two photos and two animated GIF. In one of the GIF you can see it unexpectedly move like the fricking facehugger in Alien*. Anyway. I won. As is shown in the second photo.
*probably didn't help that I accidentally prepared the slide with human-safe-eyedrops instead of alcohol..

"If you're worried about ticks, put up an owl box.
The animal driving most Lyme disease in the eastern US is the white-footed mouse. Ticks that feed on them are far more likely to come away infected than ticks that feed on other animals. The bigger the local mouse population, the worse the next year's tick year.
A single barred owl pair raising chicks can take hundreds of rodents in a breeding season. Owls also don't carry #Lyme. The bacterium can't survive their digestive tract, so an owl that eats an infected mouse is a dead end for the disease.
Researchers at the Cary Institute, the leading lab on Lyme ecology have clearly stated: "Landscapes that support predators have reduced Lyme disease risk."
If you have woods or fields nearby, a properly sized barn owl or screech owl box is one of the most useful single things you can do for tick exposure at the landscape scale. Match the box to the owl that lives near you.
The mouse is the problem, owls are the solution."

Vandaag kreeg ik bericht dat ik het daadwerkelijke vaccin heb gekregen tijdens het onderzoek naar een vaccin tegen de ziekte van Lyme. Nu hopen het vaccin snel goedgekeurd wordt zodat het voor iedereen beschikbaar komt!

Having an unexpected & surprisingly long-lasting #MECFS flare-up the past four weeks. Turns out I caught #Lyme disease. Tick (or other insect) bite, although I did not notice it. Classical ring-shaped rash. Been on high seas when standing up, with concomitant migraines for weeks. Totally exhausted and at the edge all the time.
All precautions were in place, but I just seem to get "lucky," infection-wise, these past few years. That's life.
Take care of yourselves. It's rough out there.

CC/Airborne aware friends: here are a few areas the hantavirus news has reminded me about where I can up my game a bit.Or maybe they are just a few things I can do to make myself feel like I'm doing something. That's valid, right?
1) Stock up on N95s. Always a good idea.
2) Order some tick repellent. Because...Lyme disease is nasty too.
3) Order more alcohol wipes (or research what to use to wipe down packages outside the house in case rodents have pooped on my packages.)
4) Wear a mask when digging in dirt. Even in my own yard. Where I have seen rodents and birds. Because... mice and birds both poop. In my yard. And they carry diseases. Avian influenza season cometh again.
5) Oh never mind. I'm tired, and that's all I can handle thinking about pathogens and poo tonight. -

Article on some of the important tick species in the United States, with a reminder that they sometimes harbor more than one disease.

A #vaccine for #LymeDisease could be on the horizon
If approved, shot would be first vaccine for #Lyme disease in nearly 3 decades
If regulatory agencies give the vaccine, dubbed #LB6V, the green light, it would help fend off Lyme disease in hikers, gardeners and others at risk for #tick bites.
LB6V is the first shot to make it this far on the path to approval since another vaccine was pulled from the market in 2002, in part because of low demand.

I’m learning that diagnosing Lyme disease. I might have it, waiting for results of a 2nd test.
Is it possible to have had it, for it to have gone away on its own, and then resurface?

Heel goed nieuws (https://valneva.com/press-release/pfizer-and-valneva-announce-lyme-disease-vaccine-candidate-demonstrates-strong-efficacy-in-phase-3-valor-trial/) met betrekking tot een vaccinatie om de ziekte van Lyme te voorkomen bij tekenbeten!
Uit de eerste resultaten van de fase 3 studie (vaccin in vergelijking met een placebo) is gebleken dat de werkzaamheid minimaal 70% is. Zodoende heeft Pfizer besloten om toestemming aan te gaan vragen om het vaccin op de markt te brengen!
Fijn dat ik een kleine bijdrage heb kunnen leveren aan dit onderzoek.

@Walker well the price hopefully will be reasonable but even then you are basically playing roulette in terms of efficacy - you don't want to get it #bullseye #dogstar #epidemiology #lyme conn #infectious disease #bacteria
