Hi friends and kind art enjoyers,
I've been fighting a painful & disabling condition in both shoulders since '23, & have been very unwell since July with a spicy new tickborne disease (atop a pile of my other health conditions). Add in the gen A-eye BS, & the Everything- I've been really burnt out.

Babesiosis is pretty interesting. A tickborne parasite that infects red blood cells just like malaria. Mostly in New England. Looks like a Maltese cross inside a red blood cell under the microscope.

💚 Most tick bites don't make people sick, but preventing bites is much easier than treating tickborne disease. Have a great time outside. Just don't bring home any extra passengers.

With climate change, the habitable area of southern ticks expands further north each year, including those alpha-gal ticks.

Tickborne diseases spread along with them.
