Hey Folks, I think it's the "Silent Epidemic" across the entire U.S. Lampley, your husband's comment that NW Arkansas was "unreal", and he was from western 'tick-central' in Northern CA - Southern Oregon, made me laugh; perhaps he should revisit and do an informal tick census? <g> My dog and I do an informal census every day, and as the saying goes, it ain't pretty. BTW It's hardly unusual to know 3 or 4 people who have Lyme, around here.
During tick season, - which seems to be extending itself from the first rains in winter into the summer the last couple of years - I regularly do nightly tick patrol on the Pup; and regularly I'll get 15 to 20 ticks off her, and hit a high of 50 one evening. I manage to get a few myself, usually before they dig in. She IS a tick magnet though, low, Corgi style, long black hair. FWIW, ticks are attracted to CO2 among other things, so anyone wanting to do a slightly more formal tick census can put out a piece of dry ice under a white towel. . . . They have definitely gotten Much worse, the Pup occasionally shows signs of infection at the bite sites, and something I have almost never seen before; a tick feeding on - i.e. plugged into the stomach of - another tick, plugged into the hide of my dog. Perhaps this is part of the breeding cycle? Dunno, I've got to check it out with a knowledgeable entomologist; the local veterinarian is a rich source of outdated misinformation, though the local MD's are beginning late last year, this year, to get the picture, we've got Lyme Disease, endemic. "Fibromyalgia" is such a lousy diagnosis; what does it mean after all? You've got pain in your muscles and joints - Sheesh! Isn't that what you just told the doc? CS is one of the therapies that's been shown to work, though the spirochete is a devious little bugger and hides in the joints and even nerves for years - one of the reasons standard ABX are problematic in chronic cases - as is any therapy, to be fair. The Townsend Letter had a couple of good articles on Lyme disease and it's treatment a few years ago, including the efficacy of CS: http://www.townsendletter.com/Jan2005/lyme0105.htm http://www.townsendletter.com/FebMar2006/lyme0206.htm Regarding the increased prevalence of ticks and the associated diseases they are vectors for, I can suggest a book with good documentation on the subject; Lab 257 by Michael Christopher Carroll. This is not a conspiracy theory rant, he acknowledges the necessity of bio-warfare research, just presents the factual history of events at lab 257 on Plum Island and the surrounding environs. Believe me, that's enough - more than. The tests for Lyme are not reliable; at this stage of the game most docs are being taught to take the number and severity of the symptoms into account to diagnose, the western blot or whatever are no longer considered sufficient to rule it out or in.
