Camp Fire / Re: Lyme Disease Vaccine
« Last post by Namvet on Today at 08:29:54 AM »I was stuck for years with 60+ head of Hereford cows and had my arms up so many cows birth canal till it ain't even funny. On top of that we ran them on 200 remote area acres, loaded with every kind of game/non-game animals. My Father-in-law was the first to come down with serious illness, and was nearly dead by the time I was able to force him to see a doctor. wound up he had Rocky Mtn. Tick fever. I was used to seeing these symptoms because in my younger years we bear hunted on Mt. Shasta where my uncle got it. Well as luck would have it I eventually contracted it, and was barely able to walk when they took me to Hot Springs CBOC where I was diagnosed[after many wrong guesses by doctors] and was put on CIPRO, the same anti-biotic meds given to politicians that recieved anthrax letters. After 21 days BID Cipro, I was able to get my legs under me, but it took weeks before my innards got back to normal. Not long after that mt appendix ruptured and I was in the hospital for 2 weeks, surgery and more anti-biotics[IV this time]. Back then if I had known how my health was reduced by 1/3 I would've taken anything that purported to block tick born diseases. Ticks eat on every kinda animal that is warm blooded and will inject ya with some of all of them.
