  6. The #tick #Dermacentor #reticulatus (here from #Berlin) was originally distributed in Hungary, northern Italy, and Austria, but has i.a. due to #globalwarming #spreadnorthward since the 1970s and now occurs sporadically throughout #Germany. These #coldtolerant #ticks can transmit canine #babesiosis and other #zoonoses; therefore, they must be removed as quickly as possible if an infestation occurs.

  11. Europe’s worst disease-carrying bug prefers to hunt at night, study reveals

  12. ''Confusion in the immune system': How allergies can develop later in life'

    "One such "on switch" is Covid-19, which can leave its stamp on the immune system in the form of new allergies. […] Infection increased the risk, and vaccination decreased the risk"

    "If your body sees a type of food or an environmental allergen coming in when your immune system is already overwhelmed [by fighting off a virus] […] your immune system's like, 'Okay what is this now? Just get rid of everything'."

    "Antibiotic use […] has been linked to a subsequent risk of allergies."

    "the gut microbiome […] seems to play a role in myriad aspects of our health – including immune system function. Disrupting the microbiome […] may lead to "confusion in the immune system," causing what should be harmless substances to be filed under threats that need neutralising."

    "Pregnancy is another seismic disruption to the immune system […] women may experience new allergies after they hit menopause, another time of great hormonal change."

    "The bite of a lone star tick, an arachnid native to North America but spreading to new parts of the world as the climate warms, can be another surprising allergy trigger – specifically, causing reactions to red meat."

  21. Spanish #Amber Deposit Offers Rare Window into #Cretaceous Life sci.news/paleontology/el-sopla

    "Among the discoveries are the oldest #tick known to science, a #lacewing larva that camouflaged itself with plant debris, and a fly preserved mid-meal with #pollen from an extinct gymnosperm group clumped on its body — direct evidence of #pollination before flowering #plants took over that ecological role. Theropod #dinosaur feathers have also turned up"

  28. Summer #Ticks Took Over
    Conventional wisdom about ticks, is lagging fast-changing reality. 2004-2016, reported cases of #tick-borne diseases in US doubled. Four out of five were #Lyme — nearly half a million #Americans are treated for it each year — but seven tick-borne maladies not previously reported in #UnitedStates also made their debuts. Ticks now account for 4 out of 5 vector-borne — which is to say, bug-delivered — illnesses in the country.
