Tickborne Diseases | NEJM

In this Double Take video from the New England Journal of Medicine, Sam Telford
and Robert Smith provide a clinical overview of the various tickborne diseases
commonly encountered across the United States, including Lyme disease,
babesiosis, and anaplasmosis, among others. Starting with characteristics of
ticks and their ability to act as disease vectors, the video reviews the clinical
presentation of these infections, clues on physical examination, and laboratory
tests to consider when encountering a patient with a potential tickborne
infection.
The New England Journal of Medicine is the world's leading general medical
journal. Continuously published for over 200 years, NEJM publishes

Makes you wonder if tick saliva could be used to make a blood thinner and/or an NSAID.

I have 4 kids. 50% of them were infected by 2 different tickborne diseases. My son got Lyme and my daughter got Tularemia. Nightmare.

watchful waiting = find a new competent Real Doctor. Competent Real Doctors, who know the truth and care for their patient, treat most all tick bites. How well, for covid, did "watchful waiting" / go home until you can no longer breath then go to the hospital work vs early outpatient treatment? In minnesota ~19% die in the hospital many discharged are never right again. Competent Timely Early Outpatient Treatment for covid = close to zero hospitalization/death/long covid
