If a tick is removed from a student at school, what happens next?

The Pennsylvania State Senate has passed legislation by Sen. Michele Brooks to create a standard protocol in response to a tick being removed from a student during the school day.

Senate Bill 232 would require school officials to notify parents in writing about the tick removal and provide information on the symptoms of Lyme disease. The notification will include the date of the tick removal and the recommendation that the child’s parent or guardian promptly seek medical treatment.

The bill also states that the tick must be preserved for the student’s parent or guardian to send to East Stroudsburg University’s tick lab for free testing for tick-related diseases including Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever or Powassan virus.

The school also has the option of sending the tick for testing.

“Testing a tick found on a child can provide critical information to help medical professionals prevent the child from long-term or chronic effects from the diseases ticks can carry,” Brooks said.

“In keeping with my ongoing efforts to combat the tick crisis in Pennsylvania, I encourage anyone who has removed a tick from themselves, a pet, and especially a child, to place it in a plastic zip-locked bag and send it to the tick lab.”

Pennsylvania leads the nation in the number of Lyme disease cases. Approximately one in four cases of Lyme occur in children, with children ages five to nine being at the greatest risk for contracting Lyme and other tick-borne illnesses.

The bill now moves to the House of Representatives for consideration.

**Comment**

What’s sad here is that it should be normal procedure to contact the parents of a child that has been bitten by a tick.  Duh.  But, in today’s crazy world, this has to be legislated.  And even then, it might not happen!

For more:

Rather than give medical advice about recommended treatment, I’m going to quote the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society (ILADS – how to handle a tick bite):

“ILADS recommends that prophylaxis (preventive treatment) be discussed with all who have had a blacklegged tick bite. An appropriate course of antibiotics has been shown to prevent the onset of infection.

When the decision is made to use antibiotic prophylaxis, ILADS recommends 20 days of doxycycline (provided there are no contraindications).  The decision to treat a blacklegged tick bite with antibiotics often depends on where in the country the bite occurred, whether there was evidence that the tick had begun feeding, and the age of the person who was bitten.  Based on the available evidence, and provided that it is safe to do so, ILADS recommends a 20-day course of doxycycline.

Patients should also know that although doxycycline can prevent cases of Lyme disease, ticks in some areas carry multiple pathogens, some of which, including Babesia, Powassan virus, and Bartonella, are not responsive to doxycycline. This means a person could contract a tick-borne illness despite receiving antibiotic prophylaxis for their known bite.

ILADS recommends against single-dose doxycycline. Some doctors prescribe a single 200 mg dose of doxycycline for a known bite. However, as discussed in detail in the guidelines, this practice is based on a flawed study that has never been replicated.

Read more in the ILADS treatment guidelines.

For more on treatment:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2016/02/13/lyme-disease-treatment/  Although it’s highly doubtful even a LLMD will give you more than doxy, you can read and learn about herbs that are effective against the other coinfections and layer those in yourself.  Of course, discuss all treatments with your doctor.

Proof that the Vaccines Were a Military-Backed Countermeasure

Here is a high-level review of the manufacturing contracts between US DOD and Moderna.

Moderna’s injection, mRNA-1273 is co-owned with the US Government, as the company has been funded by the defense research grants for years and also received intellectual property transfers from the US Government, in addition to preclinical and clinical research work conducted for Moderna by the NIH Vaccine Research Center. The NIH and Moderna each have a separate Investigational New Drug number for this product.

Moderna entered 2 types of contracts with the US Government for Spikevax injection:

  • “Vaccine” contract and amendments that specifies R&D projects that the US Government ordered and paid for. Note that in Pfizer’s case no R&D activities were ordered or paid for by the US Government, as these were excluded from the scope of the contract.
  • “Manufacturing” contract(s) that ordered a large-scale manufacturing. This is different from Pfizer manufacturing contracts as the words “demonstration” and “prototype” are not used. I believe this is because OTA contracts must be for prototypes but FAR contracting doesn’t have to be.

Note on redactions. In both Moderna and Pfizer’s contracts many areas are redacted indicating a reason for redaction – the “redaction codes.” Redacted content has been given codes b (4) and b (6), standing for:

(b) (4) Disclosure of information that would affect the application of advanced technology in a U.S. weapons system,

and

(b) (6) Disclosure of information, including information of foreign governments, that would cause serious harm to relations between the United States and a foreign government or to ongoing diplomatic activities of the United States.

There are several versions of the contract available, plus amendments. The first version was signed on August 9, 2020 and the last available version is June 15, 2021. In one of them the name of the signatory on the Moderna side was redacted with (b)(6). In another version it’s unredacted – it was Hamilton Bennett, a senior director of vaccine access and partnerships.

This 35-year-old woman seems woefully underqualified, especially to “engineer the vaccine” as her role was described in the press. Moderna’s history is notable for high-profile departures of competent and experienced people. Based on press reports and accounts of insiders, Stephan Bancel’s toxic management culture led to departures of many qualified scientists including heads of R&D, Oncology, Cardiovascular, Chemistry, Rare Diseases, and even Vaccines (right around the time the company pivoted to vaccines in 2016).  Terminal incompetence is a prerequisite for terminal fraud.   (See link for article)

If you still believe that COVID was about public health, hopefully this article crushes that notion. You must ask yourself why information on “vaccine” manufacturer’s contracts would be redacted for “affecting the application of advanced technology in a U.S. weapons system,” and “causing serious harm to relations between the U.S. and a foreign government.”  

What on earth does a “vaccine” that is touted as preventing transmission or infection (which doesn’t), and preventing severe illness, and death (which doesn’t) have to do with U.S. weapons and harming foreign relations?  In fact, more and more is coming home to roost showing long post-COVID “vaccination” syndrome is becoming an increasingly recognized disease occurring after the COVID shots, as well as the fact they have caused more reports of adverse reactions and death than any other vaccine in the history of VAERS, which is known to only pick up 1% of reactions.

ABSTRACT

Millions if not billions of people now believe that the world is under a bioweapons attack. A lot of blame has been placed on the US funding of bioweapons. Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the US NIAID/NIH has come under severe criticism for funding the infamous “Gain of Function” research. Many believe Fauci has not acted alone or even on his own accord. The Author worked as a fellow at NIAID/NIH from 1988 to 1991, starting soon after Fauci became head of NIAID. The author witnessed first hand infiltration of NIAID/NIH by Israel’s Mossad. While working at NIAID/NIH one or more coworkers expressed a need to “preempt the next Jewish Holocaust”. For thirty years since leaving NIH the Author has paid close attention to Mossad’s involvement in illegal US bioweapon activity and attempts to disclose his observations. The Author hopes to educate the public on the current bioweapon attack with COVID-19 and vaccines. The Author believes that Mossad intends to kill billions of people. Already 70% of the world’s population have received a COVID-19 vaccine which in all appearance has the ability to cause deadly non curable prion disease. The Author hopes the information provided will help those interested in ending this covert war.  (See link for entire paper)

The author claims:

  • The Covid virus spike protein is an ethnic bioweapon made to kill and disable billions of people selectively through both SARS-CoV-2 infection and, principally, nucleic acid (RNA or DNA) shots that encode the spike protein and have regulatory approval or emergency use authorization, with no manufacturer liability even for massive vaccine damage to populations.
  • Differential binding of the spike protein to ACE-2 receptor variants can lead to more damage in some ethnic groups than others.Europeans are the hardest hit, and [redacted] are relatively spared. (See here, here, and here.)
  • Blackmailer and [redacted] operative Jeffrey Epstein’s list of [redacted] intelligence assets includes Donald Trump, Dr. Scott Gottlieb, Larry Ellison, Michael Bloomberg, Bill Gates, Buzzy Krongard, and others promoting Covid jabs.
  • Dr. David Gorski, a harsh critic of doctors questioning leaky Covid spike protein-encoding nucleic acid shots having no long-term safety profile, has admitted financial ties to [redacted] operative Jeffrey Epstein through Seed Media Group.
  • Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is also listed in Epstein’s contacts as a presumptive [redacted] asset.
  • Although RFK Jr. laudably warns of vaccine harms, he blames the operation on Dr. Anthony Fauci and “big pharma corruption and greed,” steering people away from [redacted], implying he is controlled opposition.  Source

This website has also posted Classen’s work before as well:

All this murky history runs in tandem with Lyme/MSIDS which also has a bioweapon component to it, a connection with Fort Detrick, and with Fauci head of NIAID – controlling the research monies and therefore, research itself (remember he’s Mr. Science).  This history is important to review, chronicle, and share as it reveals a common black thread in an ongoing playbook that corroborates Dr. David Martin‘s work.  Once you understand how deep this goes, all the powerful people involved, as well as the vast amounts of money – it all begins to make sense.  This is why politics continues to trump science, logic, and humanity.

Tick Tock: CDC Takes Its Time Treating Chronic Lyme Disease

BY GRACE BURNS |MARCH 10, 2023
a tick on a stalk of grass

Lyme disease is caused by a bacteria that’s spread through tick bites. If left untreated, the bacteria can affect a person’s joints, heart, and nervous system. Photo: Leroy Baptiste 

My knees buckled beneath the weight of my malnourished adolescent frame. Cold, dripping sweat met its match on the tile floor. Every ounce of strength I had cried out to my parents for help. I didn’t stay conscious long enough to realize they raced up the stairs at the sound of my fall, as if on command.

The year was 2018. Losing consciousness was among the everyday occurrences in my middle-class household in suburban West Hartford, Connecticut. Life had been this way since July 5, 2017, just days before my 17th birthday, when my legs went fully numb during a run.

Not until I was almost 20 years old was I diagnosed with chronic and neurological Lyme disease — 16 strains of it, to be precise.

I blame this delay in diagnosis on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)’s refusal to recognize and legitimize chronic Lyme disease. Whereas many patients with Lyme disease can recover after two to four weeks of antibiotics, others, like me, suffer long-term side effects, and no one knows why. This lack of understanding makes it difficult for any medical professional to treat me in a Lyme-specific manner. Doctors are often reluctant to acknowledge Lyme as a possible diagnosis, and are not sufficiently informed to identify symptoms.

Lyme disease is caused by a bacteria that’s spread through tick bites. If left untreated, the bacteria can affect a person’s joints, heart, and nervous system.

Tests for Lyme disease are unreliable, often producing negative results despite patients later discovering they carry upwards of 5, 10, or 16 strains of Lyme-causing bacteria. There is no proven “cure” or treatment plan for chronic Lyme disease. Stringent criteria are required by the CDC to be diagnosed with the disease, and patients are often passed off to other autoimmune or psychiatric diagnoses.  (See link for article)

**Comment**

Another harrowing story.  Fortunately, there’s a good ending as the patient got to an experienced Lyme literate doctor (LLMD) for appropriate treatment.  This really is key.  Unfortunately, insurance will typically not cover this kind of treatment due to polarity within the medical community so patients must pay out of pocket.  It’s important to understand the sordid backstory to this in order to understand that attempting to get help from mainstream medicine is like shouting at the mountain.  If you are able – GO AROUND THE MOUNTAIN.  It will save you a lot of time, money, and heart-ache in the end.

California’s first CDC-confirmed case of Borrelia miyamotoi

By Lonnie Marcum

May 4, 2023

A recent case reminds us that Lyme disease isn’t the only tick-borne disease we need to worry about.

Last year, the CDC confirmed California’s first known case of Borrelia miyamotoi—a tick-borne pathogen that causes a relapsing-fever illness in humans.

This discovery highlights the need for increased awareness and surveillance of emerging tick-borne illnesses across the United States.

In this case, a man from Marin County, California, sought care at a neurology clinic in San Francisco. His symptoms included recurring fever, night sweats, mild vision changes and nausea. The fevers typically lasted one day and would recur every 10-14 days. At the time, he was also undergoing monoclonal antibody therapy for multiple sclerosis.

His standard blood work was negative for fungi, Lyme disease, brucellosis and leptospirosis. Chest x-rays and abdominal CT scans were negative as well.

The only notable blood findings were a positive antigen for Epstein-Barr virus, a low platelet count (thrombocytopenia), an elevated C-reactive protein (an inflammatory marker), and an elevated procalcitonin—a biomarker that is released in response to bacterial infections.

Specialty lab testing

Considering the patient’s immunocompromised status and continued relapsing fevers, his blood was sent to a specialty lab for next-generation DNA sequencing. The specialty lab, Karius,  says it can identify over 1000 clinically relevant pathogens including bacteria, DNA viruses, fungi, and parasites from a single blood sample.

The DNA test results came back positive for Borrelia miyamotoi and were sent to the CDC for confirmation. The CDC confirmed the patient’s blood was positive for Borrelia miyamotoi and 100% identical to an isolate that had been previously collected from an Ixodes pacificus tick in Marin County. This indicates the patient acquired the infection in California.

Borrelia miyamotoi, first identified in Japan in 1995, is considered an emerging infectious disease in Asia, Europe and the United States.

A recent study found widespread evidence of Borrelia miyamotoi in human blood samples of people living in the northeastern United States. An earlier study found evidence of tick-borne relapsing fever (TBRF) Borrelia, including Borrelia miyamotoi in the blood of 26 out of 101 samples of residents of Mendocino County, California in the 1980s.

Another study found multiple species of relapsing fever Borrelia in blood samples drawn from patients in 16 out of 24 California counties. And a 13-year-long study found Borrelia miyamotoi in ticks found in 24 out of 48 counties in California (see map below).

Borrelia miyamotoi is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected blacklegged ticks. These are the same  hardbodied ticks (Ixodes scapularis, Ixodes pacificus) that transmit Lyme disease to humans and animals. Other types of North American tick-borne relapsing fever Borrelia (B. hermsii, B. turicatae, B. parkeri), are transmitted by soft-bodied ticks.

The symptoms of Borrelia miyamotoi disease are similar to those of other tick-borne illnesses, such as Lyme disease. But standard Lyme tests will be negative, making the diagnosis challenging.

TBRF

According to the CDC, the main symptoms of TBRF are high fever, headache, muscle and joint pain. Fewer than 1 in 10 patients will develop a rash. Left untreated, the symptoms typically repeat, producing a telltale pattern of relapsing fever lasting 1-3 days, followed by 7-10 days without a fever, followed by another 1-3 days of fever.

The CDC website says: “Confirmation of a diagnosis relies on 1) the use of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests that detect DNA from the organism or 2) antibody-based tests. Both types of tests are under development and not widely commercially available but can be ordered from a limited number of CLIA-approved laboratories.”

Treatment for TBRF involves the use of antibiotics, such as doxycycline, amoxicillin or cefuroxime . In this case the man was given a 4-week course of doxycycline and achieved complete resolution of his symptoms. One month after completing antibiotics ,follow-up laboratory testing showed complete resolution of thrombocytopenia and normalization of inflammatory markers.

All tick-borne diseases are a significant health concern worldwide, particularly in areas where ticks are prevalent. These illnesses can present with a range of symptoms, some of which can be mysterious and difficult to diagnose.

While relapsing fever Borrelia has been detected in California before, this is the first CDC-confirmed case of Borrelia miyamotoi in California.  This case highlights the need for continued education and awareness of tick-borne diseases.

As with all tick-borne illnesses, prevention is key. To reduce the risk of tick bites, take precautions when spending time outdoors, such as pre-treating shoes and clothing with permethrin, using insect repellant on yourself, your children and your pets, and performing thorough tick checks after being outdoors.

This article points out the confusion with B. miyamotoi: 

  • many separate it from other tick-borne relapsing fevers
  • while it can cause relapsing fevers, it sometimes doesn’t
  • it appears to be the only TBRF transmitted from a hard bodied tick, unlike TBRF which is mainly transmitted from a soft bodied tick (I remain skeptical of this as ticks have repeatedly been found to transmit things they shouldn’t – just like they are found in places they shouldn’t be.)
  • symptoms often resemble Lyme disease
  • you can be infected with BOTH B. miyamotoi AND Lyme disease (as well as numerous other coinfections) which will complicate symptom presentation
  • testing for B. miyamotoi is just as abysmal as it is for Lyme/MSIDS:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2020/03/01/study-cdcs-2-tier-lyme-testing-inaccurate-in-more-than-70-of-cases/

This easy-to-read guide is packed with useful information

By Dorothy Kupcha Leland

Hacking Lyme Disease: An Action Guide to Wellness is a compilation of articles from Dr. Marty Ross’s informative website “treatlyme.net.”

It covers a wide range of topics, including what he considers the best herbal and prescription antibiotic treatments, what to do if your previous treatments have failed to get you well, and a discussion of many alternative therapies (both pro and con).

It is not a guide to treating yourself. Dr. Ross strongly advises you to discuss these matters with your Lyme-literate practitioner. But it answers a lot of questions that Lyme patients may have, including about many alternative treatments.

The Ross Lyme Support Protocol

He outlines his own treatment guidelines for chronic Lyme and related infections, which he calls The Ross Lyme Support Protocol. He says it’s designed to:

  • Boost the immune system,
  • Improve detoxification,
  • Speed recovery,
  • Kill the infections, and
  • protect and repair from the harmful effects of the infections and the herbal and prescription antibiotics.

Dr. Ross emphasizes that treating Lyme disease is complicated. “The infection triggers an immune system cytokine reaction that affects most organs and systems of the body,” he writes. “In my experience, the great majority of people can recover if they address each of the steps in The Ross Lyme Support Protocol.”

He refers to anything that kills Lyme and related infections as “antigerms.”  These herbal and prescription antigerms include:

  • Antibiotics for bacteria like Borrelia (Lyme), Bartonella, Anaplasma, Ehrlichia, and Clostridium difficile;
  • Antifungals for intestinal yeast overgrowth;
  • Antiparasitic agents for Babesia and hidden intestinal parasites, and
  • Antivirals for chronic infections like mononucleosis and human herpesvirus 6.

However, his action steps encompass much more than just trying to eliminate bacteria. He includes recommendations regarding sleep, diet, controlling inflammation, hormones, exercise, detoxification and more.

He also discusses complicating factors such as yeast infections, mold toxin illness, and mast call activation syndrome.

A unique aspect of Hacking Lyme Disease is how it incorporates information from LymeDisease.org’s MyLymeData research project. More than 17,000 Lyme patients participate in MyLymeData, providing feedback about their treatment experiences.

Dr. Ross includes MyLymeData findings in his discussion of prescription antibiotic use as well as a wide variety of alternative medical treatments.

This easy-to-read guide is packed with lots of useful information.
