The devastating impact of a tick bite | BBC Global


Each summer, thousands of Lyme disease cases occur across the US.

But experts say this year, the proliferation of ticks – the insects that carry and transmit the disease to humans – will increase as the planet warms.

  1. This video is total bullshit Lyme disease was created at plum Island and released on the public. Hence the medical industrys reluctance to acknowledge it. Jesus everything they show us is bullshit ALL the time

  2. Climate change🙄. It has more to do with the leftist, tree hugging lobbyists who own democratic politicians, and won’t let said politicians use sprays that we used to. Never had a tick problem growing up. Thanks Dems.

  3. Alpha gal aka lone star tick disease. Horrible. It’s the tick with white spot. It can be deadly. Anaphylactic shock can happen. Long story short….if you eat meat or anything mammalian and get violently sick after 4 or hours later it’s alpha gal. Get a blood test.

  4. In the 80's I was deployed as a "foreign national soldier" (not a mercenary) into Mozambique (during the civil war) to help provide protection for all communities. It quickly became apparent that the insects there were larger than anything I had ever encountered before and that ticks were everywhere. Every evening after a patrol we would sit down and remove literally hundreds of ticks from our bodies. And then sleep on the ground overnight. We'd be out for a week or 2 without the possibility of bathing either … Inevitably I got a serious disease. The medics thought I was malingering and sent me back out on patrol. 10 days later after passing out and falling a few times, during the patrol, and with black eyes to prove it, I got back to the medics. I was feeling 100% better than before. I asked them to just check my temperature. They did and it was still way over the top. I got casavacced out in a helicopter, instantly, to the nearest Military hospital and spent a week or 2 on drips and meds. To the bots and other commentators on this channel: I nearly died from this and you think a tick bite is a joke or just a conspiracy?
