TickEase Founder Dan Wolff on Dangers of Ticks, What We Need to Know About Prevention

By |
 

Dan Wolff, aka: “Tick Man Dan,” wore a tie emblazoned with images of ticks to his wedding. He regularly wears shirts and even a wristwatch with pictures of the arachnids on them. He has two tattoos of the creepy, blood-sucking pests permanently inked onto his left leg. He even goes on tick hunting expeditions, and he keeps jars of them around his home. This may strike some people as weird, but for Wolff, they’re conversation starters on a subject he’s passionate about. Plus, it’s part of how he makes his living. Tick Man Dan’s mission is simple: to educate the public on the dangers posed from the diseases and parasites carried by ticks, and to promote his brand, TickEase. The company makes a set of specialty tweezers designed by Wolff himself that are meant specifically for the removal of ticks and their nymphs once embedded in a person.

When I spoke to Wolff via Zoom from his home in Massachusetts, I learned more about ticks in one 40-minute sitting than I had learned my whole life. We spoke about TickEase and their Tick-Kits, proactively preventing issues, and his general enthusiasm for these tiny creatures that are capable of causing such big problems.  (See link for article)

___________________

SUMMARY:

  • Out of necessity, Wolff created Tickease when he couldn’t find a good tick removal device – particularly for an embedded nymph (which is as small as a poppy seed).
  • Unfortunately Wolff regurgitates the “warmer weather gets more ticks” mantra – essentially propelling the ‘climate change’ myth regarding tick and disease proliferation. 
    • Ticks are marvelously ecoadaptive and can survive virtually all weather by burrowing under leaf litter and snow – and anything else they can find. 
    • The repeated mantra of “climate change”, wildlife proliferation, and surburban sprawl ignores the very real spreading of ticks by our own government who has experimented on ticks for decades.
    • Willy Burgdorfer, the “discoverer” of Lyme disease was a researcher at the Rocky Mountain laboratory where he weaponized ticks by force-feeding them numerous pathogens.
  • Ticks can be active year-round – proving their ecoadaptability.  They can go into a dormant state called diapause due to a anti-freeze-like substance in their bodies which actually feeds the Lyme bacteria.
  • Wolff found ticks can wake up fast with a feeding frenzy if there are periods of cold interrupted by a sudden increase in temps. Please watch this short video demonstrating how quickly this can happen.
  • Wolff dispels the myth that it takes 36 hours for ticks to transmit Lyme.  (It can happen in a few of mere hours)
  • He also points out that viruses can be transmitted in minutes and that ticks carry far more than just Lyme.
  • When removing a tick, do not agitate it or get the contents of the abdomen on you.

Strategies to Prevent Lyme & Tick Borne Infections

Strategies to Prevent Lyme & Tick Borne Infections

Lyme disease and tick borne infections are spread through tick bites. The best way to prevent Lyme disease and related infections is to stop ticks from attaching to you. Another strategy is to quickly remove attached ticks before they spread infection. Here are some specific actions you can take to prevent Lyme and related infections.

Actions While Outdoors Where Ticks Live

ONE – Use A Good Tick Repellent On Your Skin

Before going into tick habitats, spray your skin with a tick repellent. Ticks are repelled by certain chemicals which limit their chances of getting on your skin or biting you. Common repellants include

  • picaridin,
  • DEET, and
  • essential oils.

Of these, picaridin and DEET work best because they last longer.

Research shows essential oils only work up to 20 minutes after application. Picaridin 20% can last 12 to 14 hours depending on whether a spray or lotion is used. The length of effect of DEET depends on the concentration. DEET 30% can last for 8 hours – while DEET 98% in Backwoods OFF can last for 10 hours.

DEET vs Picaridin

I prefer Picaridin vs DEET. Both are equally effective and recommended by the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). But DEET leaves an oily layer on the skin and has potential neurotoxic effects that stop me from recommending this for people living with Lyme or who have had Lyme in the past. To be fair, the chances of neurotoxicity occurring from DEET are extremely small. However, I do not think a very small risk is worth it given how well picaridin works without any health risk.

You can use the EPA search tool to find approved tick repellents. Another option is to use an odorless picaridin 20% cream or spray product I carry at Marty Ross MD Supplements made by Proven Tick Repellent.

TWO – Spray Your Clothing with Permethrin

One other strategy is to spray your clothing, tent or camping equipment with permethrin and let it dry. Once dry, permethrin will remain effective for 6 weeks or 6 washes. Permethrin works on ticks two ways. First it is an irritant to ticks, once on permethrin coated fabric, ticks get “hot feet” and jump off. But if ticks remain on the fabric too long, the permethrin will actually kill them.

THREE – Wear Light Colored Clothing Covering Your Skin

Clothing provides a barrier to keep ticks from finding skin to bite. A strategy that can help includes wearing long pants tucked into your socks, shirts tucked in at your waist, and long sleeves. If you wear white or light colored clothing it may make it easier to spot ticks on your clothing – so you can brush them off before they reach bare skin.

FOUR – Perform Regular Tick Checks

While you are outdoors, perform regular cursory tick checks of your skin and clothing. If you find a tick, brush it off before it can bite you.

Actions Right After Coming Indoors

Once you are inside take actions to remove any ticks that might be on your clothing or attached to your body. You could remove your clothes and place them in a hot drier. The drier can blow any attached ticks off and the heat can kill them. With your clothes off, you will have an easier time seeing any ticks on your skin. Some suggest taking a shower. The idea behind this action is while naked showering, you will have an easier time seeing the ticks. The shower water itself does not kill a tick. There is also a potential that showering can dislodge ticks from your skin.

Safely Remove An Attached Tick

If you find a tick attacked, remove it safely. The best way to remove a tick is to grab the tick at the head using tweezers. Pull up slowly and carefully. This method limits the chances that an attached tick will vomit Lyme and related germs into the tick bite area. Other methods, like burning a tick off, increase the chances of germ transmission from an infected tick.

Decrease Ticks on Your Property

You can work to limit infected ticks on your property. One strategy is to place cotton or wool treated with permethrin in toilet paper cardboard tubes throughout your property. Rodents and varmints that carry ticks will pick up the cotton or wool and bring it back to their beds. Ticks exposed to the permethrin soaked cotton or wool will die.

Inspirational Message to the Unvaccinated

**UPDATE**

While many are attempting to distance themselves from their unbelievably inhumane treatment of the unvaccinated, a nurse was suspended over forcibly injecting a vulnerable woman in a care home.

How many more were forcibly injected with gene therapy?

Watch this 4 minute video and this 6 minute video of pundit after pundit, talking head after talking head, Hollywood actor after Hollywood actor abuse their power by bullying those who decided against taking a fast-tracked, experimental gene therapy injection that has never been used in humans before, that is linked with more adverse events and death than any other “vaccine” in the history of VAERS, and that is completely ineffective for COVID.

Inspirational Message To The Unvaccinated

A member of the FLCCC team sent around this message written by an anonymous person. I found it extremely powerful and felt it needed to be shared.

 
Pierre Kory, MD, MPA

Due to the relentless bombing of the world’s citizens with thought control weapons (global propaganda and censorship), of the many hundreds of patients I have treated for acute COVID, pretty much the near entirety have been unvaccinated. Why you ask? Easy answer: in general, those who have succumbed to the vaccine lie have also been mentally conditioned to not seek out care from “quacks” who use “horse de-wormers” or “Trump drugs” as part of their combination therapy protocols.

Although it has been immensely satisfying to help so many patients feel better quickly while avoiding hospitalization and death, it has also been traumatic. In my care discussions with the unvaccinated, I listened to stories of everything that happened to them as a result of their unvaccinated status. Endless examples that either enraged me or just left me sad (depending on how I was feeling that day – the majority of the time it was rage). Story after story of lost jobs, retracted wedding invitations, and the inability to travel, eat out at a restaurant, see a movie, or attend a concert. All made worse with mounting estrangements from friends, family and colleagues who often asked them to not attend a holiday gathering or work event.  (See link for the important message to the unvaccinated)

**Comment**

Corrupt leaders effectively bamboozled the public into believing and then acting on completely faulty information that has caused untold damage.  I’ve heard from numerous Lyme/MSIDS patients about this sad fact.

People have committed suicide due to the severe and cruel bullying.  While corrupt public health ‘authorities’ count everything as a COVID case to inflate numbers, we will never truly know the real damage, including suicides caused by the massive tyranny.

Complaints continue to roll in on how the unvaccinated are being discriminated against. In one Florida hospital senior doctors are stating to the unvaccinated:

  • “You guys are the reason why people are dying and why COVID is spreading.”
  • “When you guys get fired, then we’ll all have a party and Darwinism will do its work.” 
  • “They should take you guys to the firing line.“
  • “Myth: I’ve had COVID, so I don’t need to be vaccinated because I have antibodies.”
  • Doctors yell at unvaccinated patients and have refused to perform open-heart surgery on those refusing the jab.  Source

Worse yet, this article argues that anger towards the unvaccinated was intentional psychological manipulation based on a study, which was not published online until October 2021 (once everyone was vaccinated) which tested “how persuasive messaging affects COVID-19 vaccine uptake intentions”.  They took the best performing messages and actually tested them on a nationally representative sample in Sept. 2020.

The wording throughout the study is almost identical to that used over & over the last few years.

  • “Safe and effective”

  • “Getting vaccinated is the single best way to protect yourself”

  • “Reduces the risk that members of your family could get sick and die”

  • “How guilty would you feel?”

  • “How embarrassed and ashamed would you feel?”

  • “How angry would you be?”

  • “People who don’t get vaccinated aren’t brave but reckless”

  • “There is nothing attractive and independent minded about ignoring public health guidance”

  • “You risk the health of others”

  • “Trust the Science”

  • “People who reject vaccination are ignorant or confused about the science”

  • “Not getting vaccinated means you are probably the sort of person who doesn’t understand science”

  • “It reduces the chance of lockdowns”

How many times did you hear someone parrot one or more of the lines above almost word for word?

So ‘the powers that be’ conducted a study to see which pressure points would work best and then carefully crafted mountains of propaganda funded by the taxpayer to turn family and friends against one another.  Ponder this for a moment.

The ethics statement in the study says the experiments conducted were fielded under an exemption granted by the University. It’s not difficult to understand why.

And this, right here, is why there should be no amnesty to Covidians who are still completely guilty of disseminating utter nonsense, propaganda, lies, and vitriol. These bullies are the ones in severe need of re-education on immunology.  Until they understand how wrong they are, they will never “get it,” and will never be even capable of admitting fault to those they have belittled, demeaned, and fired.  They can’t swear to never do it again because they don’t understand how wrong they are to begin with.

Let all of this serve as a lesson for the forthcoming PSYOPS that are planned for the future, because this is far from over. 

BTW: One of China’s biggest cities just locked down 21.2 MILLION residents.

Important quote from the letter:

Banned from their families’ tables at Christmas, they never saw anything so cruel. They lost their jobs, let their careers sink, had no more money … but they didn’t care. They suffered immeasurable discrimination, denunciation, betrayal and humiliation … but they kept going.

It appears that some are getting a taste of their own medicine as Twitter has now suspended many mainstream doctors and scientists as spreading “misinformation.” What’s ironic is that these doctors still don’t “get it,” and have the audacity to name call and label others who disagree with certain dogmas as “conspiracy theorists,” which BTW has been used ad nauseum by the CIA to shut down dissenters. Science constantly evolves (or should) and debate should be welcomed.

Red flags should immediately appear when only one narrative is accepted and all dissenters are shouted down.

The Truth About Ivermectin

**UPDATE**

Go here to learn of all the things ivermectin does, where to get it, and treatment protocols.

Back in Jan. Project Veritas uncovered government documents showing ivermectin, HCQ, and interferon work for COVID.  Not only do they work, the government knew it but concealed it.  Now they are attempting to rewrite history and their prohibition of safe, effective, cheap drugs. The corrupt AMA, APhA & ASHP are guilty as well by opposing the ordering, prescribing, or dispensing of ivermectin to prevent or treat COVID outside of a clinical trial.  They then went on witch-hunts and threatened and sanctioned doctors for using this safe, effective treatment.

Our government also attacked doctors for treating or even speaking about anything but the EUA protocol, which included IV fluids, remdesivir and  ventilators, for fear of being fired. One doctor was sued for $508 BILLION simply for recommending natural remedies known to work for respiratory illnesses. After three stressful years, he was completely exonerated and refused the gag order the FTC offered as hush money.  He is now speaking out.

The Truth About Ivermectin

Of all the harmful misinformation spread over the past couple of years, one of the most disturbing false narratives was targeted at the Nobel Prize winning HUMAN medicine, Ivermectin. We produced this short film to correct the narrative and to reveal the motive behind the smear campaign against one of the safest and most effective medicines of this era.

**Comment**

Similarly to extended antimicrobials for Lyme/MSIDS, ivermectin has been censored/banned for COVID despite being extremely safe, effective, and cheap.  Also, similarly to Lymeland, doctors prescribing it have been hunted down and persecuted.  Desperate patients had to resort to the court system to get it to their loved ones.

Hospitals became known as the “modern day killing fields” as they cow-towed to government mandates due to being paid off.  Hospital insiders have left in droves and have exposed the brutal and deadly protocols still being used in lockstep, and now state that we need an advocate to fight the ‘white coats’ in the medical establishment.  Some have even started their own medical services independent of corporate, federal, and state control (just like Lyme literate doctors).

The urgent need to break the public health monopoly can not be overstated.

The media, per usual, was completely complicit and was also paid off.  Stories of medical negligence continue to pour forth.  Also similarly to the Topsy-turvey world of Lymeland, the wrong doctors continue to be accused of wrongdoing when they are the ones truly saving lives.

We owe a debt of gratitude to Willis for his true investigative journalism on COVID that has exposed corruption in the highest levels of government that has trickled down everywhere.  We also need to be thankful and support the myriad of doctors who have spoken out against this crime against humanity.

Further, these corrupt public health ‘authorities’ have been pushing their own fraudulent tests (which the entire house of cards is built upon) and treatments that are expensive, unsafe, and ineffective.  Period.  The facts are irrefutable.

People have died needlessly with nearly 100 studies proving it.

Kentucky Has Fastest Growing Lyme Disease Outbreak in the US & is Surging in WV, Ohio, & Nebraska

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-11125379/Kentucky-fastest-growing-lyme-disease-outbreak-insurance-data-suggests

Kentucky has the fastest growing lyme disease outbreak in the US, insurance data suggests – while disease is also surging in West Virginia, Ohio and Nebraska, as experts warn more forest cover is allowing diseased ticks to advance south

  • Insurance claims data showed Kentucky, West Virginia, Idaho, Ohio and Nebraska had the biggest upticks
  • But New Jersey, New York and Massachusetts had the largest outbreaks in the country, data showed
  • Experts said that ticks were expanding their range thanks to growing forest cover and deer populations
  • But surging awareness of the disease thanks to high-profile cases such as Shania Twain may also be behind some of the uptick in insurance claims
  • FAIR Health – which has one of the largest databases in the country – collected the data

By Luke Andrews Health Reporter For Dailymail.Com

Published:

Kentucky has the fastest growing Lyme disease outbreak in America, insurance claims data suggests — as experts warn global warming is allowing more aggressive northern ticks to advance into southern and midwestern states. 

Statistics showed Kentucky was recording 10 claims per 100,000 people in 2021, up from just five in 2016 — a doubling in five years. West Virginia, Idaho, Ohio and Nebraska each also saw claims surge more than 60 percent over the same period.

Experts warn that higher seasonal temperatures have opened up new habitats for ticks in more mountainous areas, which may be fueling the rise in cases.  (See link for article)

For anyone paying attention at all to the events of  the past two years, it’s become obvious that things are often not what they seem.  Public health officials have lied repeatedly due to severe conflicts of interest, and science has been hijacked to the highest bidder.  The corruption in an unholy alliance between government, Big Pharma, mainstream media, research institutions and scientific journals has finally been exposed for what it truly is.

When you understand this simple albeit painful truth, it also then becomes obvious that science has been completely politicized and can not be trusted at face value. This is clearly seen in the area of “global warming,” and is a rouse to obtain access to huge government funding and unbridled power to monopolize and control by imposing ludicrous, ineffective regulations that are unobtainable and will destroy entire economies.  While there are definitely environmental concerns, “global warming” is being used to divert attention away from climate engineering – which is very real.

There’s a similar thing happening in Lymeland.  Like an experienced magician using slight of hand, we are told repeatedly in a mantra that ticks are migrating and transmitting disease due to a warming climate.  This has been proven to be false by independent researchers who do not have to cow-tow to the political message to obtain highly sought after government research grants.  The spin-masters want our attention on the climate rather than on the fact our own government is behind tick and disease proliferation.  This is pointed out in Kris Newby’s book “Bitten,” as well as through interviews with people who have studied this for decades. Bioweaponization of things found in nature is not new, and the government will do anything to cover this up – including lie using propaganda techniques.  They then come after others who disagree with anything they say and accuse them of the very things they do themselves.

Don’t be fooled by the accepted narrative no matter how many times it is repeated.
Question everything and do your own homework.  Make sure you are getting information from multiple sources – particularly ones that disagree.
