Lyme disease sucks. I did a 300 mile hike in the deep woods and swamps of Minnesota a few years ago, and some of these ticks are almost microscopic (I took a photo of one that is smaller than the lead on a .5mm pencil).

On Long Island where I work you can't walk a few feet through the tall grass in the warm weather without picking them up, and some are tiny. Without protection there's a good chance of getting the disease just hiking short distances. On the work site there are lots of deer and other animals such as raccoons.

And that little tick can make you sick for weeks

Is there Lyme disease in the hood?

Since we are no longer worried about H1N1 (or other swine based) we can worry about this now. Thanks ap!

It's not the deer, it's the mice in the woods where the ticks actually gestate. You put out a few hundred baited tubes (think used toilet paper rolls) lined with Frontline-soaked cottonballs, and the forest mice stop carrying the ticks. Culling deer populations has had no measurable impact on tick populations, but treating mice actually shows huge reductions in ticks.

Lyme came from Plum Island or so it looks.

Army records show “60% of chronic Lyme patients are co-infected with several strains of mycoplasma, the most common one being "mycoplasma fermentens" which was patented in 1993 by the U.S. Army and army pathologist Dr. Lo.” Lo, Shyh-Ching-Pathogenic mycoplasma-U.S. Patent 5,242,820 issued Sept. 7, 1993. Many Lyme disease and Gulf war patients are infected with the genetically engineered organism (mycoplasma fermentens) thus Lyme and Gulf War disease symptoms are almost identical.
Cases first started showing up in Lyme CT, which is right across Plum Island.
Plum Island is a military biowarfare complex believed to be the origin of the disease.Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.

"Cases first started showing up in Lyme CT"
Ozi the iceman had Lyme disease over 5000 years ago.
If you want to get rid of Lyme disease, kill a deer or a few hundred of them. It's spreading because there are over 60 deer per square mile in the Northeast due to a lack of hunters and laws against hunting.

lol. where is there any proof that lyme disease existed 500 years ago?

the problem with lyme disease has always been that it is a modified version of Borrelia burgdorferi. This is why so many reseachers have connected it to the biowarfare island of plum island.
