Lyme disease is a bacterial infection that can be spread to humans by infected ticks. High-risk places for bites include grassy wooded areas.
Laura Edwards who is living with Lyme disease says 'the symptoms are debilitating...not only was I getting the physical symptoms, severe brain fog, severe fatigue, I was struggling to even get up in the mornings. Not knowing, forgetting things'.

But still nothing about the cough treatment and heart problems

[@jungleboy1]

that's classified.

[@jbalou4722]

Quail eat ticks, chickens also eat ticks. Increase tick population is due in part to decreased wild fowl population.

Vaccines are not vaccines

Another piece of climate hysteria based on “could”.

[@Getonwithit204]

It's good to see the experts disagreeing in the comments.

[@robertmontgomery7158]

The experts actually believe that climate change will kill all the ticks.

[@paulgibbons2320]

This is genuine. I was aware of this long before the vaccine scandal.

[@brad1505]

The media really do think we are stupid.

[@paulgibbons2320]

No, this is gospel. I'm a pure blood vaccine sceptic, too, but this is also a genuine condition.

[@CJones-99]

They dont think it, they know it, 2020 taught them that...

Does anyone believe this nonsense

[@brad1505]

For the media, everything that happens always goes back to Climate Change, Putin and Trump. It’s non-stop gaslighting.
That’s why I don’t watch the news anymore.

What nonsense?

[@patrickquinlan3056]

@@countryside_guy Perhaps Andrew thinks Lyme disease is a conspiracy by us anti-tick libtards. Or is he so ill-informed he thinks climate change is nonsense? he4 hasn't clarified.

How do people survive in the rest of the world?

[@petersmith6974]

Temperature. F off already.
I got bit 10 yrs ago and infected in Canada.
Ticks survive-40 temperatures over winter.
F off with the global climate crap.
10 yrs ago and Still no F ing help from doctors.
Returning home to England in 2015 because I thought I was dying and wanted to die in my homeland area.

Lyme stole my health my career (bricklayer/stonemason) and my money.
3 rd world country England I can’t get a doctor or see one unless I miss a days work to do so.

[@JimmyTimmy-wh8dz]

A nothing story..the word to focus on in the title is "could". They might as well say 'could not' because thats just as probable.

Another one proving the media right.

[@SB-dg8hq]

The earth has been warming up since the last ice age 10,000 years ago, it's called the Milankovitch Cycles.
It used to be called global warming and that's a more accurate description than climate change because the climate is always changing.

[@bobdidit55]

Exactly, thank god someone with some knowledge and common sense.

[@ChrisBoon-kq3en]

Well, considering the fact that weather has been changing for millions of years and wont stop changing...seems we will be dealing with ticks for the d
