Linda’s comments:  Tick population exploding isn’t just on the East coast, it is US wide.  More and more ER’s are reporting a BIG increase with tick bites.   More importantly, you don’t have to have a tick bite to get Lyme disease.  BEWARE and pay attention when in the great outdoors.

Excerpt:

NEWBURYPORT — Deer ticks have been appearing in huge numbers throughout the region, raising concerns about Lyme disease.

All along the East Coast, health experts have seen a sudden and dramatic increase in ticks.

“Just in the past week or two, we have seen an explosion in deer ticks,” said Dr. Heidi Bassler, medical director of the Veterinary Center of Greater Newburyport.

The unusually warm weather and record-setting rains have helped bolster the tick population. Hospitals, such as Addison-Gilbert in Gloucester, have experienced a surge in tick bite cases. Normally, the hospital sees one or two cases per day; now it is seeing eight or 10.

There are two different kinds of ticks that are predominant in the region. Dog ticks are about the size of a pencil eraser; deer ticks, the more dangerous species, are closer to the size of a pen point.

With a single bite, deer ticks can transmit Lyme disease, symptoms of which include a debilitating complex of fever, headache, fatigue and depression, and two other illnesses of similar symptoms.

Ticks are mostly found in woods and fields. High grass, including dune grass, is one of their favored habitats.

Linda’s comment:  Thanks to the Colorado Springs INDEPENDENT for presenting this article on Lyme disease.  It presents what is going on today worldwide.  We need more newspapers to come to the Lyme communities rescue and help us get the word out.  I work with thousands of Lymies doing research and helping to guide them to make better healthcare choices.  I personally have battled 2 Lyme infections and have been blessed to live in a state where alternative doctors are licensed to practice <OUTSIDE OF THE BOX>  The one thing I have come to realize is our bodies are so overloaded with pathogens and toxins, that without lifestyle changes, getting rid of the heavy metals, being gluten free, caffeine free, sugar free, alcohol free, fast food free and most importantly GMO FREE, you struggle reaching the level of wellness you desire.  Getting rid of all the above is difficult, since we have industry shoving it in our faces at every turn.  I’m so thankful that I found the FIGHT program that Dr Garry Gordon has developed.  I couldn’t believe how many pathogens and toxins I have dumped over the last year and a half.  I have a long way to go, but I can tell you, I thank God daily for the FIGHT program.

Linda’s comments:  No only do we have to worry about eating wild meat containing Lyme disease, but now we have to be concerned about the “lead” exposure from eating this meat.  There is also proof that deer from our high mountain ranges are getting lead exposure from the “coal” stacks in China.
