Lyme Disease And Canadians

[Sam Menard]

It’s my understanding that the pill is not a vaccine and its benefits are short lived i.e. you can get Lyme disease after the effects of the pill wear off.

Valneva and Pfizer have developed a Lyme disease vaccine candidate, VLA15, that is currently in Phase 3 human trials in the USA.

Maybe in your country Joe.
Permethrin products in the form of liquids or sprays for consumers to treat their own clothing are not approved for use in Canada.

Are you sure about this? I bought a gallon of it and spray my pants with it. Haven't picked up a tick since I've started this.

Long Point in Norfolk County, Ontario is Ground Zero for Lyme Disease and so far I've been very lucky and never got it as I always found them early and pulled them off. Recently at my doctor I told him of encounters with the little buggers and he offered the "pill" right away, a one time dose of antibiotic but I declined. Supposedly they are now doing testing in Ontario for Lyme Disease as our labs were not set up for it before and all tests had to be sent to the U.S. labs.

They used to test - back in 2017... There was one lab in Toronto for all of Canada. They don't test now in Ontario because Lyme is all over. Standard treatment is 200mg of doxycycline if a tick has been attached for more than 18 hours. You can get this at a pharmacy without a prescription. If you show any symptoms, the treatment is 100mg of doxycycline per day for 14 days. You'll need a prescription for this. BTW - the single 200mg treatment is not 100% - I've developed lyme after doing this and needed the 14 day treatment a couple of months later.

My son had a deer tick on him about a month ago - pulled it off - a couple days later he got real bad flu like systems - went to the doc and they determined it wasn't the flu so put him on Doxycycline - he sent the tick away for testing and sure enough it came back positive - when we have a imbedded tick we send it away for testing and until we get results the doc prescribes an antibiotic - one of my granddaughters who lives in Virginia got bit by a Lone Star tick and ended up with a real bad allergy when she eats red meat - so she can't eat any pork - beef - lamb - no diary or cheese - better spray your clothes with permethrin and check yourself when you've been outdoors

Just came across this not saying it's happened but he seems pretty excited about engineering something to stopping the meat consumption.

Same guy from 2012 talking about less meat consumption and a pill that could make you eat less meat.

ummmmmmmmmmm the Lone Star Tick was discovered in 1758. So your stating that in 1758 we modified it to make you not like meat?

I am going to suggest to you we do not have that capability in 1758.

Look at the first line "not saying it happened "
Just funny the tick is doing the job of the wef lol.

They are tabling the same prescription for their benefits.

Yes they have been around for hundreds of years but the disease I believe is fairly young. In 2008 only a hand full of cases
