Clinical Considerations for Use of mRNA COVID-19 Injections 

(See link for entire article)

An important consideration for Lyme/MSIDS patients is the fact doctors have seen a reactivation of symptoms after vaccination:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2017/12/02/scottish-doctor-gives-insight-on-lyme-msids/

 And to balance out the CDC’s continued denial of vaccine harm:  https://www.greenmedinfo.com/blog/attacking-ourselves-top-doctors-reveal-vaccines-turn-our-immune-system-against-us

Excerpts for Lyme/MSIDS patients from CDC website:

Immunocompromised persons

Persons with HIV infection or other immunocompromising conditions, or who take immunosuppressive medications or therapies might be at increased risk for severe COVID-19. Data are not currently available to establish vaccine safety and efficacy in these groups.

Persons with autoimmune conditions

No data are currently available on the safety and efficacy of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines in persons with autoimmune conditions.

Persons with a history of Bell’s palsy (a symptom of Lyme disease)

Cases of Bell’s palsy were reported following vaccination in participants in both the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines clinical trials.

Pregnant people

Pregnant people with COVID-19 have an increased risk of severe illness, including illness resulting in intensive care admission, mechanical ventilation, or death. Additionally, they might be at an increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes, such as preterm birth.  There are currently few data on the safety of COVID-19 vaccines, including mRNA vaccines, in pregnant people.

Lactating people

There are no data on the safety of COVID-19 vaccines in lactating people or the effects of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines on the breastfed infant or milk production/excretion.

Children and Adolescents

Vaccine safety and efficacy data in this age group are limited. Children and adolescents younger than 16 years of age are not authorized to receive the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine at this time.

Contraindications & Precautions

Anaphylactic reactions have been reported following vaccination with mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. Persons with a history of an immediate allergic reaction (of any severity) to an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine or any of its components might be at greater risk for anaphylaxis upon re-exposure to either of the currently authorized mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. An immediate allergic reaction to a vaccine or medication is defined as any hypersensitivity-related signs or symptoms such as urticaria, angioedema, respiratory distress (e.g., wheezing, stridor), or anaphylaxis that occur within four hours following administration.

CDC considers a history of the following to be a contraindication to vaccination:

  • Severe allergic reaction (e.g., anaphylaxis) after a previous dose of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine or any of its components
  • Immediate allergic reaction of any severity to a previous dose of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine or any of its components (including polyethylene glycol [PEG])*  They should not receive additional doses.
  • Immediate allergic reaction of any severity to polysorbate (due to potential cross-reactive hypersensitivity with the vaccine ingredient PEG)*
Precautions

CDC considers a history of any immediate allergic reaction to any other vaccine or injectable therapy (i.e., intramuscular, intravenous, or subcutaneous vaccines or therapies not related to a component of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines or polysorbate) as a precaution but not a contraindication to vaccination for both the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines. These persons should be counseled about the unknown risks of developing a severe allergic reaction and balance these risks against the benefits of vaccination. 

Observation periods following vaccination (for persons without contraindications to mRNA COVID-19 vaccines)

CDC recommends an observation period following vaccination with mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. Persons with a history of an immediate allergic reaction of any severity to a vaccine or injectable therapy and persons with a history of anaphylaxis due to any cause should be observed for 30 minutes. All other persons should be observed for 15 minutes.

Reporting of vaccine adverse events

Adverse events that occur in a recipient following mRNA COVID-19 vaccination should be reported to VAERS. Vaccination providers are required by the Food and Drug Administration to report the following that occur after mRNA COVID-19 vaccination under Emergency Use Authorization:

  • Vaccine administration errors
  • Serious adverse events
  • Cases of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome
  • Cases of COVID-19 that result in hospitalization or death

Reporting is encouraged for any other clinically significant adverse event even if it is uncertain whether the vaccine caused the event. Information on how to submit a report to VAERS is available at https://vaers.hhs.govexternal icon or by calling 1-800-822-7967.

In addition, CDC has developed a new, voluntary smartphone-based tool, v-safe. This tool uses text messaging and web surveys to provide near real-time health check-ins after patients receive COVID-19 vaccination. Reports to v-safe indicating a medically significant health impact, including pregnancy, are followed up by the CDC/v-safe call center to collect additional information to complete a VAERS report, if appropriate.

WHO, Fauci Warn COVID-19 Injections May Not Prevent Infection and Disease Transmission

by Barbara Loe Fisher
Published January 3, 2021
 
At a virtual press conference held by the World Health Organization (WHO) on Dec. 28, 2020, WHO officials warned there is no guarantee that COVID-19 injections will prevent people from being infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus and transmitting it to other people.1 In a New Year’s Day interview with Newsweek, Anthony Fauci, MD, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), reinforced the WHO’s admission that health officials do not know if COVID-19 vaccines prevent infection or if people can spread the virus to others after getting vaccinated.2 According to U.S. and WHO health officials, vaccinated persons still need to mask and social distance because they could be able to spread the new coronavirus to others without knowing it.34  (See link for article)

**Comment**
 
If you mistakenly believe getting this touted injection will solve all your problems and allow you to once again live freely, think again.  It was never about returning to normal.  
 
BTW: HHS is launching a $250M Propaganda campaign with massive ad blitz slated for January:  https://www.fiercepharma.com/marketing/hhs-readies-vaccine-confidence-campaign-massive-ad-blitz-rollout-january  Excerpt:
 
The Ad Council video leads with Anthony Fauci, M.D., director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, who says: “My primary message to healthcare professionals is please get vaccinated. It’s important to protect yourselves, to protect your family, but as important symbolically as healthcare providers to show confidence in the vaccine so that other people in this country follow suit and get vaccinated.”
 
Please remember, this isn’t a “vaccine.”
 
Here is a list of the lies that are being told to the American people through this video (Source):
 
  • LIE #1: “It’s important to note that none of these vaccines can give you COVID19 since they only express a protein from the virus that allows your body’s immune system to generate antibodies.”  FALSE. The fact is, the COVID19 SARS virus has never been fully identified, and the PCR test to test for COVID19 is inaccurate. Even if what they say is true about there not being a COVID19 virus in the vaccine, since they can only at this point identify fragments from the faulty PCR test, who is to say that a “protein” from the virus that affects the body’s immune system would not produce symptoms of COVID19 and test positive?Also, in Israel, which at the time of publication of this article has had the largest amount of people vaccinated with the experimental COVID vaccines, has reported that 240 people have come down with COVID right after being vaccinated. See: 4 People Died and 240 Got COVID19 in Israel After Being Injected with Pfizer Experimental mRNA Vaccine
  • LIE #2: “Because vaccines are given to millions of healthy people to prevent serious diseases, they’re held to very high safety standards. Both the FDA and the CDC have to ensure the safety and efficacy of the vaccines before they are recommended for use in the United States. The COVID19 vaccine, just like all others, are undergoing a rigorous process...”FALSE. The COVID19 vaccines are NOT approved by the FDA like every other vaccine currently in the market, and the typical time it takes to bring a vaccine to market is 5-7 years. (Source.)  The experimental COVID vaccines should NOT be compared to vaccines that have full FDA approval, but to other times a vaccine was rushed to market under emergency use authorization, and the last time that happened was in 1976 with the Swine Flu “epidemic.”  But the “epidemic” never panned out. Only one death and 13 cases were attributed to the Swine Flu, while 25 people died from the vaccine and another 500 or so developed Guillain-Barre syndrome. The vaccine was withdrawn from the market after 10 weeks.  https://healthimpactnews.com/2020/healthcare-workers-in-the-u-s-suffer-serious-reactions-from-illegal-pfizer-experimental-vaccine-others-fake-vaccination-on-tv/
  • LIE #3: “So far, we haven’t seen any trends of serious side effects.”  FALSE. They are trying to be clever by using the word “trends” so that specific cases of serious side effects, including DEATH, can be excused as “abnormal” or not a result of the vaccine.  But they got caught in their own lie here, as even the FDA has stated that they are investigating why so many people are experiencing anaphylactic shock after receiving the vaccine, focusing on the polyethylene glycol component of the vaccine. (Source.)  Not to mention that several people have now died after receiving the experimental vaccines, including one healthcare worker in Portugal, and apparently Nurse Tiffany Dover from Tennessee as well.  There were deaths in the vaccine trials as well, before the FDA EUA was issued. (Source.)

Facts About the Experimental COVID Vaccines they Do NOT Tell You

In addition to their lies, the people in this video are failing to give full disclosure about all the facts regarding these experimental COVD vaccines.

  1. These vaccines are NOT approved by the FDA.  This is stated multiple times in the vaccine guidelines that are supposed to be given to everyone. Therefore, it is illegal to require anyone to take them. They are 100% voluntary, because you are basically participating in the last part of their vaccine trials in order to get FDA approval.
  2. Emergency Use Authorization was issued by the FDA illegally, because other therapeutics to treat COVID19 are available.  Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin are two older drugs already approved by the FDA that tens of thousands of doctors have used successfully to treat and cure COVID19.  In addition, the experimental COVID19 vaccines used the faulty PCR test in their trials, and therefore should never have been approved until accurate testing was used. An Administrative Stay of Action was filed against the FDA, but they simply ignored it. See:  https://healthimpactnews.com/2020/stay-of-action-filed-against-fda-to-stop-approval-of-covid-vaccine-for-using-faulty-pcr-tests-in-trials/
  3. Warnings of Potential Infertility due to These Experimental Vaccines are NOT Being Issued by the FDA.  The UK guidelines for the Pfizer vaccine warn of potential infertility of women and also do NOT recommend pregnant women receive the vaccine, while neither warnings are issued for the same vaccine for Americans. See:  https://healthimpactnews.com/2020/unlike-uk-u-s-fda-allows-pregnant-and-lactating-women-to-receive-experimental-pfizer-covid-vaccine/  Also, the University of Miami is investigating the effects of the COVID-19 vaccines on male fertility. See:  https://www.local10.com/news/local/2020/12/20/study-investigates-effects-of-covid-19-vaccine-on-male-fertility/
  4. The other thing that the U.S. Government and Big Pharma never disclose, is the revolving door between both. Former FDA Chief Scott Gottlieb, for example, now sits on the Board of Directors for Pfizer. See:  https://healthimpactnews.com/2020/former-fda-director-gottlieb-now-pfizer-board-member-secures-1-95billion-for-covid-vaccine/  The CDC, FDA, and HHS have become primarily marketing branches of Big Pharma. And now, the U.S. Government is going to give the corporate media and Big Tech a quarter of a million dollars to try and brainwash you into getting the unapproved experimental COVID vaccine, which is a mere drop in the bucket of the $TRILLIONS of American wealth that has been transferred to Big Pharma in 2020 all in the name of the “pandemic.” Don’t be fooled by their lies! Turn off your TVs and stop watching these Hollywood-style actors and actresses posing as journalists spew forth this dangerous propaganda.
  5. Corporate Media is owned by Big Pharma.  While in years past the primary advertisers funding the corporate media were Wall Street conglomerates heavily invested in tobacco and the oil industry, today it is Big Pharma.  See: https://healthimpactnews.com/2020/brainwashing-the-masses-6-companies-own-almost-all-of-the-media-in-the-u-s-using-medical-doctors-to-sell-their-message/  Protecting their financial interest in the pharmaceutical trade is Big Tech, as now even Google is a pharmaceutical company, and they filter their search results to censor anything that challenges pharmaceutical products like vaccines.

Artemisinin from Sweet Wormwood Inhibits SARS-CoV-2

https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2021/01/04/artemisinin-from-sweet-wormwood-inhibits-sars-cov-2.aspx

Artemisinin From Sweet Wormwood Inhibits SARS-CoV-2

Analysis by Dr. Joseph MercolaFact Checked

January 04, 2021

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

  • An antimalarial treatment made from the plant Artemisia annua (Sweet Wormwood) shows promise as a COVID-19 treatment
  • The drug artesunate — which contains two compounds found in Artemisia annua: artemisinin and dihydroartemisinin — is a first-line treatment for malaria
  • In a recent in vitro study, both pretreatment and treatment with artemisinin extracts, synthetic artemisinin and the drug artesunate were able to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 infection. However, artesunate was the most potent in terms of treatment, and from a clinical perspective may be the only one worth pursuing
  • Artesunate’s mechanism of action against SARS-CoV-2 is as yet unknown, but artemisinin does have confirmed antiviral activity
  • The World Health Organization has come out in opposition to artemisinin-based products, warning their use can bolster drug-resistant strains of malaria parasites. For this reason, people living in malaria-prone areas should be cautious about using this plant remedy

A second antimalarial treatment is now being seriously considered and evaluated for its efficacy against COVID-19. The treatment is made from the plant Artemisia annua, which most people know as Sweet Wormwood. Other names for this plant include Annual Sagewort and Sweet Annie.

Research over the past few decades has revealed multiple health benefits from this medicinal herb, which has a centuries-long history of use in folk medicine. In 2015, Chinese scientist Tu Youyou received a partial Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his discovery of artemisinin and dihydroartemisinin,1 both of which have potent malaria-fighting properties.

As reported by the University of Kentucky,2 “The popular malaria drug artesunate was developed from those compounds and is still used as a first-line treatment for the disease today.”

Artemisinin — A Viable COVID-19 Remedy?

Interestingly, in addition to having a long-standing history of being used as a highly effective antiparasitic, it also has anticancer properties. Additionally, artemisia annua has antiviral activity that might be helpful against SARS-CoV-2.

In an April 8, 2020, press release Mateon Therapeutics reported3 that “Artemisinin is highly potent at inhibiting the ability of the COVID-19 causing virus (SARS-CoV-2) to multiply while also having an excellent safety index.”

After testing the plant’s antiviral effects in a laboratory setting for a couple of years, University of Kentucky researchers are also exploring its use for the treatment of COVID-19,4 as are researchers in Denmark and Germany.5 According to the University of Kentucky:6

“Surprisingly, results showed that the plant’s leaves, when extracted with absolute ethanol or distilled water, provided more antiviral activity than the actual drug itself — meaning that an Artemisia annua-blended coffee or tea could possibly be more effective than taking the drug.”

Based on these findings, researchers have decided to test artemisinin in patients diagnosed with COVID-19. Some of the first human studies, set to investigate both the extract blended into coffee and tea, as well as the drug artesunate, were implemented by UK HealthCare.

University of Kentucky researchers have founded a company called ArtemiFlow to develop and manufacture the drug, in collaboration with the Kentucky Tobacco Research & Development Center.7 A sister company, ArtemiLife, is marketing Artemisia tea and coffee to raise research funds.

Mechanism of Action Remains Unknown

As for its mechanism of action, such details still remain to be discovered. C&EN explains:8

“When countering malaria, artemisinin exploits the parasite’s taste for hemoglobin in its host’s blood. As the parasite digests hemoglobin, it frees the iron-porphyrin heme complex from the protein.

Because this heme is toxic to the parasite, the organism normally converts the complex to a more benign crystalline form. ‘But artemisinin corrupts this heme-detoxification pathway,’ says Paul O’Neill, a medicinal chemist at the University of Liverpool.

If artemisinin does have any effect against SARS-CoV-2, though, it likely relies on a completely different mechanism than the one it uses against the malaria parasite, Harvard’s [malaria researcher Dyann F.] Wirth says.”

In Vitro Study Reports Positive Results

An in vitro study9,10 looking at the efficacy of artemisinin-based treatments against SARS-CoV-2, posted on the prepublication server bioRxiv, October 5, 2020, report promising results.

The study was a collaboration between researchers from Germany, Denmark and Hong Kong, led by Kerry Gilmore, Ph.D., from the Max Planck Institute for Colloids and Interfaces in Potsdam, Germany.

Three artemisinin extracts, as well as pure, synthetic artemisinin, artesunate and artemether were evaluated. During the initial screening for antiviral activity, a German SARS-CoV-2 strain obtained from Munich was used.

Later on, during the concentration-response phase of the trial, they used a Danish SARS-CoV-2 strain from Copenhagen. These two strains are said to be “more closely related to the majority of SARS-CoV-2 strains circulating worldwide than the Wuhan strain.”11,12

In summary, they found that both pretreatment and treatment with artemisinin extracts, synthetic artemisinin and the drug artesunate were able to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 infection of Vero E6 cells and human hepatoma Huh7.5 cells. That said, artesunate was the most potent in terms of treatment, and from a clinical perspective may be the only one worth pursuing.13,14

World Health Organization Warns Against Its Use

While the world is eager to add another remedy to its COVID-19 treatment list, the World Health Organization has come out in opposition to artemisinin-based products. In a May 27, 2020, article, C&EN reported:15

“One of the most high-profile advocates for using the herbal remedy against the novel coronavirus is Madagascar president Andry Rajoelina, who has been touting Covid-Organics, a tonic containing A. annua that the Malagasy Institute of Applied Research developed …

But health officials are deeply concerned about the promotion and use of these herbal remedies for three principal reasons. First, no evidence exists that A. annua extracts can prevent or cure COVID-19 …

Second, A. annua preparations such as teas, tonics, or herbal capsules also contain a cocktail of bioactive compounds in addition to artemisinin that can have side effects such as dizziness, hearing problems, and vomiting.

Third, and perhaps most worrying of all, widespread use of A. annua herbal extracts could bolster drug-resistant strains of malaria parasites such as Plasmodium falciparum.16

For people living in regions where malaria is endemic, exposure to subtherapeutic doses of artemisinin in A. annua may be enough to kill off some of the parasites in their bodies, but not all of them. Clearing out weakling parasites leaves more room for drug-resistant siblings to proliferate, rendering vital ACTs [artemisinin-based combination therapies] ineffective.”

According to Pascal Ringwald, who heads up the drug resistance and response unit of the WHO Global Malaria Program, artemisinin resistance is a significant problem in Southeast Asia, where Artemisia readily grows and is commonly used.17

That said, this risk is bound to be slight for Americans and people in many other Western countries where malaria is exceedingly rare. According to C&EN,18:

“Scientists interviewed by C&EN agree that although this use is against WHO recommendations, it does not risk accelerating resistance because there are so few cases of malaria in the U.S.”

The antiviral activity of artemisinin, which is normally thought of as an anti-parasitic, is as amazing as the antiviral activity of ivermectin, which is normally thought of as a dewormer.  The very interesting aspect of artemisinin; however, is it’s ability to:
 
‘corrupt the heme-detoxification pathway.’  
 
The reason that this is interesting, is that within this video, Dr. Northrup describes how radiation from 5G (60gh) can adversely affect hemoglobin making it difficult to be oxygenated, and that this actually happened in both NY and China. The first case of COVID-19 occurred 1 month after the 5G rollout in Wuhan, China – people were actually blue from lack of oxygen.
 
Also, if you remember the post from April, a NY doctor describes how ventilators were harming COVID patients who were described as suffering “severe hypoxemia” and that the usual treatments were failing because they:
 
“result in severe hemodynamic impairment and fluid retention.” 
 
These details seem to continue to implicate 5G in this saga:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2020/04/25/coronavirus-science-policy-politics-5g/
Excerpt:

RF radiation and COVID-19 cause similar disease. In my last newsletter (“Is the Sky Really Falling?”), I noted some effects of COVID-19 that are similar to effects of radio waves. The list of effects in common has grown, and includes:

  • headaches
  • dizziness
  • nausea
  • digestive problems
  • muscle pain
  • tachycardia
  • hypotension
  • cardiac arrhythmias
  • strokes
  • seizures

As many as two-thirds of people who test positive for COVID-19 have lost their sense of smell, often without any other symptoms. Patients are presenting with mental confusion, without any respiratory symptoms at all. Patients are presenting with diarrhea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. When patients with any of these symptoms test positive for the coronavirus, their illnesses are being attributed to that virus. But these are all classic symptoms of radio wave sickness.

WHEN BOTH THE VIRUS AND RF RADIATION ARE PRESENT, THE DISEASE SHOULD BE ATTRIBUTED TO BOTH.

And RF radiation and COVID-19 both cause hypoxia. COVID-19 impairs oxygen absorption by the blood, and RF radiation impairs oxygen use by the cells. COVID-19 would not be so severe were it not for the radiation.

Recently, there is a new symptom that is being attributed to the virus that is exactly what one would expect to see from millimeter waves: a “fizzing” sensation throughout the body. It is being described as a “buzzing sensation,” “a burning feeling,” and “an electric sensation in the skin.” It is probably wrongly being attributed to the virus, and is due instead to 5G.

WHO Changes Definition of ‘Herd Immunity’, Literally Re-Writing Hundreds of Years of Scientific Understanding Just to Push Vaccines

https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/violating-science-who-changes-meaning-herd-immunity/

Violating Science, WHO Changes Meaning of Herd Immunity

In June 2020, the WHO changed its definition of herd immunity, stating the only way to achieve herd immunity is by vaccination. The new definition is inconsistent with long-established science which says herd immunity occurs when enough people acquire immunity to an infectious disease.

WHO has changed their definition of herd immunity

Story at-a-glance:

  • Herd immunity occurs when enough people acquire immunity to an infectious disease such that it can no longer spread widely in the community.
  • WHO’s definition of herd immunity long reflected this, but in Oct. 2020 it quietly revised this concept in an Orwellian move that totally removes natural infection from the equation.
  • Immunity developed through previous infection is the way it has worked since humans have been alive: Your immune system isn’t designed to get vaccines; it’s designed to work in response to exposure to an infectious agent.
  • This perversion of science implies that the only way to achieve herd immunity is via vaccination, which is blatantly untrue.
  • It’s all part of the Great Reset: The rollout of widespread COVID-19 vaccination coupled with tracking and tracing of COVID-19 test results and vaccination status are setting the stage for biometric surveillance and additional tracking and tracing.

(See link for article)

___________________

**Comment**

Please note that the WHO is one of the most corrupt agencies in the world and a is prolific purveyor of “disinformation.”

Changing definitions is its MO (as well as the CDC’s)

One month before the H1N1 “pandemic,” the WHO declared H1N1 a Level-6 “pandemic” based on 20 cases.  There were only 144 deaths worldwide.  It conveniently changed the definition of “Level-6 Pandemic” so that severe destruction and widespread human death were no longer required, which simply means anything can now be declared a ‘pandemic,” resulting in gold rushes for pharmaceutical companies and corrupt public health, and mainstream media. The declaration of the 2009 swine flu “pandemic” triggered $18 billion in sleeping contracts to activate across the world and production of hundreds of millions of H1N1 vaccine doses.

Serious adverse like the narcolepsy epidemic —which many researchers tie to GSK’s Pandemrix vaccine are pushed under the rug.  GSK makes multimillion-dollar donations to the W.H.O.

Interestingly, the very same Wolfgang Wodarg (pulmonologist and epidemiologist) that declared  H1N1 a “false pandemic”  and “one of the greatest medicine scandals of the century.” (Forbes, February 10, 2010)  is also on record in 2020 stating:

“The corona hype is not based on any extraordinary public health danger. However, it causes considerable damage to our freedom and personal rights through frivolous and unjustified quarantine measures and restrictions. The images in the media are frightening and the traffic in China’s cities seems to be regulated by the clinical thermometer.  Evidence based epidemiological assessment is drowning in the mainstream of fear mongers in labs, media and ministries.” ~ Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg  

If only he would have been taken seriously.

For more:

Firstly, it was wrong to claim that this virus was novel.

Secondly, It was even more wrong to claim that the population would not already have some immunity against this virus.

Thirdly, it was the crowning of stupidity to claim that someone could have Covid-19 without any symptoms at all or even to pass the disease along without showing any symptoms whatsoever.

The WHO can not be trusted:

Powassan Virus in Children

https://danielcameronmd.com/powassan-virus-in-children/

CASE REPORTS: POWASSAN VIRUS IN CHILDREN

powassan-virus-in-children

Powassan virus (POWV) is a tick-borne illness that can cause severe encephalitis. Animal studies have shown the virus can be transmitted to humans following a tick bite within 15 minutes. However, the cases described in a recent article “Powassan Virus Encephalitis Following Brief Attachment of Connecticut Deer Ticks” by Feder et al. “strongly suggest that infected ticks may also rapidly transmit POWV to people.” [1]

By

Powassan virus in children is not often reported. In this article, the authors describe two cases involving infants with tick bites who developed Powassan virus encephalitis. As the authors point out, their case report not only demonstrates that rapid transmission of POWV can occur, but it highlights the importance for parents/caregivers to follow tick bite prevention methods. In these cases, adults unknowingly exposed their children to ticks infected with Powassan virus.

Powassan virus encephalitis in two children

A 5-month-old child was hospitalized after experiencing fevers for two days, along with vomiting and facial twitching which progressed to seizures. Two weeks prior to the onset of symptoms, a tick was removed from the infant’s forehead. Test results for the Powassan virus were positive.

The second case involved a 2-month-old child who presented with a fever and listlessness for one day. “He then developed left sided focal seizures (rhythmic left arm twitching, facial deviation to the left, and tongue thrusting with lip smacking),” the authors write.

A tick was removed from the infant’s arm approximately two weeks before he was hospitalized. The parents believed the father or dog had brought a tick into the house following a walk outside. The tick was not engorged and had not fed for more than 24 hours, the authors report.

READ MORE: No neurologic damage in 3 children with Lyme disease and Powassan virus

“POWV infection was confirmed by a positive PRNT on both serum and CSF,” the authors explain.

“POWV infection of humans has been notable for the severity of both the acute disease and the long-term sequelae.”  In fact, chronic illness occurs in approximately 50% of patients, the authors report, with symptoms including hemiplegia [paralysis on one side of the body], wasting, personality changes, and headaches.

Adults unknowingly expose children

“The circumstances under which the 2 children reported here acquired infection require some comments that are pertinent to prevention of future cases,” the authors write.

Infants typically would not be exposed to tick bites. These cases demonstrate the importance in adopting tick bite prevention methods. Feder points out, “in both of our cases, parents presumably brought ticks into their homes after outdoor activities.”

In the first case, the father had been out walking in the woods and brushed off multiple ticks outside. He presumably brought a tick into the home. In the second case, a father had been walking outside with a dog. The family believed either the father or dog had brought the tick into the house.

Parents/caregivers should be educated about several preventative measures:

  • “Outdoor clothing may prevent access to skin, but the ticks may remain undetected and will crawl off the person when body heat is reduced, such as when a coat is removed.”
  • Parents should check for ticks more than once. “Because of searching for an optimal skin site, ticks will not immediately attach to a person.”
  • “Parents should be educated about the need to treat outdoor clothing with Permethrin, an effective mode of preventing tick bites … Contact with treated fabric will kill all ticks within 2 hours.”
  • “Parents should also be educated about the possibility that dogs could bring ticks into homes, and that these animals should be inspected after every outdoor exposure.”
  • “Most anti-tick preventives only work after a tick has attached to a dog [the tick needs to ingest the chemical], although there are collars that are impregnated with Permethrin or similar products that might repel or kill ticks.”

Editor’s Note:  Although the authors did not discuss treatment of the two infants, both recovered.

**Comment**

Despite being told that all of this is “rare,” please remember that Powassan, along with numerous other tick-borne infections are not reportable illnesses; therefore, nobody has a clue about prevalence. Coppe Lab out of Wisconsin emphatically states Powassan is NOT rare:

http://www.coppelabs.com/blog/why-is-powassan-virus-infection-still-described-as-rare-and-mysterious/  Excerpt:  

For the last two years, Coppe Laboratories has dedicated a significant amount of time and resources to dispelling the myth that infection with Powassan virus, a virus transmitted by tick bite, is rare. The Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC) reports only 100 cases of Powassan virus infection in the United States in the last 10 years. Indeed, that statistic gives the illusion that Powassan infection is rare. However, did you know that the only infections reported to CDC are those that are life-threatening, particularly cases causing severe inflammation of the brain like the case reported in LiveScience? Coppe has published three new papers in the last year that clearly show Powassan virus infection is not rare are at all,and until testing for this virus is included as part of tick-borne disease screening panels infections will continue to be underreported. Coppe’s Powassan Guide, which can be downloaded from the website, summarizes the findings from both tick and human Powassan prevalence studies, as well as defining the patient populations that would benefit most from Powassan testing.
