New shot could protect you from Lyme disease for a full tick season

quote [ β€œIn this case, what we've done is we've honed in on exactly the anti-body that will prevent you from getting lyme disease transmitted to you,” said Dr. Mark Klempner. This is not a vaccine, which causes the body's immune system to make a whole host of antibodies. ]

I work outside in an area full of deer, mice, rabbits, ground hogs, opossums, racoons, etc., so I'm more than a bit paranoid about lyme carrying ticks. Deep Woods Off, you're my hero!

I want a vaccine that can stop that lone star tick disease from forcing me to be a vegetarian.

You can still eat birds, fish, eggs, plus any of the great apes, including humans, so it's not too bad.

Considering that The Tick never lasts more than one season this new medicine should prove adequate.

We seem to be straying from the topic, but can you imagine what it must have been like to get into that costume every day? It must have taken an hour or two at least.
