Hi Ken,
That is an excellent article.I will add it to my library. As a grandfather, I thank you for taking the time to do this research for us!
Warmest regards
Remember Missouri also has tickborne and skeeter borne encepalitis…I have 3 tickborne diseases.All from missouri tick bites.Mine are Lyme /lyme like disease,ehrlichiosis,bartonella and possiably babesia
Oh goodness! I was just hearing about babesia. I know alot of the ladies that have interstitial cystitis, which is what I have, also have lyme and other similar diseases. Yuck!!!

I got it 3.5 years ago. Wildly varying fever and occasional loss of conciousness. Scared the **** out of me and my family. Creamed my memory and I am now slightly dyslexic.
