MORE: U.S. Department of Defense Funds New Lyme Disease Vaccine Development
So why talk about hygromycin A? The FDA will never approve it if there is a vaccine candidate.
Would the vaccine cure people who already have it, I wonder?
There's a weird number of famous people who have it. Look it up.
Alec Baldwin, Avril Lavigne, one of the Olson twins and a bunch of others.
I wonder why the hell so many of them have it. Do lots and lots of people just walk around with it and celebrities get better testing and health care so they get diagnosed more? Is there actually a pandemic of this stuff?
Doesn't infection come with a big mark at the tick bite site? Wouldn't a famous person have lovers who would notice? Like " hey I noticed you have a tick bite on your ass with a giant, obvious fucking red circle around it. Might wanna get that looked at. " Why did no one warn Avril Lavigne she had a giant red circle on her ass!!!??
Why do so many of them catch it in the first place? I thought they lived in big cities mostly. Are famous people sleeping naked in the woods or something? Do they cuddle with raccoons? Do the weird cults they're in force them to do that stuff?
But, I digress.
Anyway the rich and famous may actually want an after-the-fact treatment is all I'm saying.
Lots and lots of people just walk around with it. My FiL was literally diagnosed on his deathbed, and my wife was diagnosed after having it for at least a decade.
You catch it in the woods. It's that simple. Ever gotten bitten by a tick? That's how you get it. One time I was just walking around a civil war battlefield, and when I went under a tree, the ticks jumping on me from above were like rain. It was maybe 50 feet from the highway.
The mark isn't a big as you think. It isn't always a bullseye, it often seems like a spider bite, and some people never rash up at all.
It's a subset of CFS, so many people might already have it without recognizing it as such.
What is CFS honey buns?
Most Lyme infections don't produce a bullseye rash.
