I'm glad to see Time magazine is highlighting the rise and concerns over babesiosis infections.
"Another, babesiosis, is causing particular concern. The disease is colloquially known as “American malaria,” partly because of its ever-widening spread and partly because of its clinical profile.
Like malaria, the disease is caused by a parasite (carried by ticks instead of mosquitoes) that infects red blood cells. And like malaria, it can lead to headache, fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, altered mental state, anemia, low blood pressure, respiratory distress, and more. "

“However, when they looked at mortality risk, they found that the risk of death was higher among the babesiosis-only group.” Interesting. I wonder if it’s because you present differently with co-infections?

Actress/comedian Miranda Hart says she first became sick at age 15 and later developed chronic fatigue syndrome.
"It culminated while in her mid-40s in a collapse which at its peak left her confined to bed, with doctors struggling to diagnose the illness."
‘Some very clever experts finally sort of joined the dots back to when I first started feeling unwell was when I was living in a Lyme hotspot in Virginia in America, when my father worked out there,’ she said.

I got mine from my dogs I let them sleep with me. I've lost them now to Lyme it was a horrific death for each one. Lyme took them one by one. And you know my story. I've been in remission a year now. I still fight each day I am aware of what goes on when I encounter a contaminated area and I always hold you with the highest respect. Even if you are skeptical about morgellons ...I don't allow my dog to sleep with me anymore ...they can also carry contamination and bugs parasites in on their coats.

Ticks are bad this year I just sheared my dog and found 4 that had just started feeding and I could not feel. I let my dog sit with dawn about 30 min and kept lathering her up. To keep your dog sheared is the best way to make sure they don't have any. Ticks are small and only as they grow and feed do they get bigger and an engorged tick is normally a deer tick just has been feeding. I smashed 2 of them and the fluid was dark and I suspect that they carried the Lyme disease. Gave her parasite meds for protocol and vaccinated with the Lyme vaccine. Crazy how they can make a vaccine for our dogs and not for us
I remember when they were Ixodes dammini.

Great video Dr. Cameron !! Thank you for ALL you do ...
Dr. Daniel Cameron is it possible for Lyme to only cause muscle twitching, weakness, and a small amount of joint pain and burning but with the joint pain and burning being very intermittent and not lasting long. Twitching being the worse all day everyday. I’m so scared rn 😢. Negative on western blot, on Igenex 3 positive band and 1 interminate and Bart of 160 igg.
My first ALS symptom occurred in 2016, but was diagnosed in 2018. I had severe symptoms ranging from shortness of breath, balance problems, couldn't walk without a walker or a power chair, i had difficulty swallowing and fatigue. I was given medications which helped but only for a short burst of time, then I decided to try alternative measures and began on ALS Formula treatment from Aknni herbs centre, It has made a tremendous difference for me (Visit ww w. aknniherbscentre.c om). I had improved walking balance, increased appetite, muscle strength, improved eyesight and others.
