Dear Rich,

It sounds, as though, it is very complex..but can, someone, tell me where

the price list is?

We do need to know that.

Now, how do you get Babesia from the environment? which specific animal has

it, that one could be exposed to?

THANKS..

[Guest guest]

Ok, well, that means everyone has been exposed, at one time, or another.,

[Guest guest]

So, you are saying that we have lyme symptoms, because we have immune system

defiences..what a novel concept.

Tickbites.

Fleas, flies, mosquitos, good chance humans through sexual contact

could there be another animal that transmits this critter or another way of

transmission, that could convince one, that this has occurred?

cause, for the life of me, although there were some critters that used to be

around one...I do not remember that..

What do you think?

That's right! And I was told by a couple of docs that 85% of the population have

Lyme most without obvious disease.

I know people believe that, it is possible for other bugs such as

biting flies and mosquitoes to transmit but I think that's rare. Ticks

feed on you for a few days and as they feed particularly at the end,

they actually throw up! They essentially vaccinate you. And given my

own history, I know the tickbite wrecked me--I got a bullseye. Had I

NOT gotten the bullseye I'd never have known about the tick ever. A

little dot on the back of my knee, I'd never have seen it. So I

believe many people don't get bullseyes, or get them in places they

can't see, and never know.

See, I really don't believe that. I do believe some who are exposed

can handle it or have milder strains. But I know enough people on the

east coast with 'sudden onset' stories...and severe illness, like

meningitis, from lyme. So, I don't believe this 'everyone has it'

theory. Had I not been unlucky, I would not have encountered it. (Or

theoretically once could say, with an adult history of summers in the

Hamptons, Block Island, Martha's Vineyard and Cape Cod, I was lucky

not to get more tickbites than I have)
