Survivors of Powassan encephalitis often have persistent neurological disease. A new mouse model replicates some elements of the human disease and demonstrates the presence of viral RNA in the brain as well as myelitis more than 2 mo after the acute infection. The related tick-borne encephalitis and West Nile Neuroinvasive Disease (WNND) also have common neurological sequelae, and models for these better-studied diseases provide evidence for prolonged virus, RNA, and inflammation in some cases, in addition to damage from the acute encephalitic disease. A better understanding of the biological basis for persistent signs and symptoms after Powassan encephalitis, currently a rare disease, could benefit from further studies of the more prevalent flaviviral encephalitides.

Unfortunately, the acknowledgment of this will be for a future lucrative vaccine – not treatments or things that will actually help patients.
Coppe Labs, a specialized CLIA-certified lab, right in Waukesha, Wisconsin tests for Powassan, West Nile, Anaplasma, Babesia, Human Herpes Viruses 6 & 7, COVID, and Lyme disease.
A virus with a fatality rate of 30 per cent that is spreading in Europe will almost certainly reach the UK, an expert has warned.
Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a disease caused by a tickborne virus, categorised as one of the nine “priority diseases” deemed by the World Health Organisation (WHO) to “pose the greatest public health risk due to their epidemic potential”.
The virus causes sudden symptoms of fever, dizziness, pain in the head, neck, back and eyes, and sensitivity to light…. (See link for article)

SUMMARY:
The video in the top link is actually correct and informative. Rather than blaming the climate, the researcher in the video attributes the growing tick problem to humans moving into woodland areas. I must point out that ticks are being found close to soccer fields, beaches, caves, rocks, backyards, pumpkin patches, gardens, and under picnic benches and tables, blowing off of trees, urban areas, in the middle of side-walks, in eyeballs, in penises, ears, and on snakes, birds, and mammals, including pets. I found ticks crawling on my basement screens and a few found their way inside the house and were on the walls, so we can no longer assume they are only in wooded areas. Blaming tick proliferation on the climate is unscientific.
CCHF is transmitted via ticks but can also be spread from livestock to humans as well as less commonly via human to human transmission by percutaneous and per mucosal exposure to blood and other body fluids containing the virus – typically in the hospital setting.
The research article discussed within the video states a higher mortality rate of 40-60% than the article above.
Despite any proof, headlines singularly blame “climate change” for CCHF which conveniently promotes the corruptWHO’sagenda. A recent report in fact states there is ‘no evidence’ of a climate emergency.
Virologist Geert Vanden Bossche states that those who are COVID vaccinated are incubating omicron-derived variants. He believes those who will NOT be at risk for serious disease are the unvaccinated, and those who have received a placebo. He predicts that those who have had two or more COVID shots are at the greatest risk for “vaccine” break-through infection and he highly recommends they have access to antivirals. He predicts that by late summer – early autumn we will see more and more deaths due to autoimmune disease and cancer which will be followed by a substantial wave of hyper-acute COVID disease in the highly “vaccinated.”
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.
What You Need to Know to Stay Safe From Ticks and Lyme Disease This Summer
PBS NewsHour
According to the Centers for Disease Control, as many as 476,000 people in the U.S. contract Lyme disease every year. Climate change and human encroachment into wilderness areas means ticks and the disease-causing bacteria they carry are becoming more common. Dr. Linden Hu, an immunology professor and co-director of the Lyme Disease Initiative at Tufts University, joins John Yang to discuss.

**Comment**
Same old myths regurgitated due to either Hu’s ignorance (hard to believe), and/or conflicts of interest because he needs to obtain research grants from the government which continues to push a 40-year old false narrative.
Antibiotics are NOT effective for most as relapses have occurred in virtually every study done.
The percentages Hu states goes onto suffer with chronic Lyme are flat-out wrong and only include those diagnosed and treated early. A far greater percentage are not included in this tally as they are diagnosed and treated late. When combined together, a whopping 60% or more develop chronic symptoms.
Hu predictably pushes a Lyme “vaccine” in both humans and mice. This is the big cash-cow for research institutions and the government which gives a huge financial return on investment. Meanwhile, patients continue to suffer without answers or relief.
The only time our government is concerned about the increasing numbers of Lyme/MSIDS is when they are pushing a “vaccine.” Nothing is ever done about the fact we still don’t have an accurate test.
