But finding this one on my neck this morning gets to be first one for 2024. Time to hit the yard with permithrin again I guess. Mac "Never Forget Which Way Is Up!" "Never Forget Which Way Is Up"

Makes one wonder where they came from. Then wonder if is any truth to this. https://www.newsweek.com/pentagon-weaponized-ticks-lyme-disease-investigation-1449737 Some individuals use statistics as a drunk man uses lamp-posts — for support rather than for illumination.

They are also close to finalizing a vax for aids also. Science has advanced quickly on account of all the money pumped into perfecting the covid vax. Lime and aids vax are a fringe benefit from all that research. Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Lime and aids vax are a fringe benefit from all that research. They HAD a Vax for Lymes decades ago, got pulled pretty quick. I was my Doc's first positive patient, 1990, and my wife had it in 89. Was misdiagnosed by her Doc, our veterinarian knew what it was!
