Mysterious Illness at Martha’s Vineyard
Although initially published in 2020, it is a stark reminder of the seriousness of Tularemia, a tick-borne illness also transmitted by rabbits as well as through inhalation, and which has a bioweapons history. Patients are often misdiagnosed with pneumonia. Landscapers are at a 6X higher risk than the general public.
Unfortunately the verbiage on Youtube is misleading as it says the patients inadvertently gave it to themselves through a contaminated batch of a dietary supplement sold in health food stores. I could find nothing to corroborate this statement. Again, tularemia is transmitted through tick bites, infected animals, via aerosol of bacteria in the air and through contaminated water, food, and soil.
