Y’all forgetting that the FDA is currently run by an insane, leathery ball sack.
Who hired, fired, hired and fired the same guy in 12 months.
My area needs this sooooo bad. We have one of the highest Lyme disease rates in the country. Unfortunately, Alpha-gal disease is now also in this area, so even with this vaccine, every family walk even near the woods or fields still has to be followed with full body and hair inspections. Every time. So many ticks… Ugh.
Unfortunately, there is no evidence the vaccine actually works.
You need more urban foxes to prevent the spread of rodents and wolves to prevent the spread of deer. Both of those predators can curb or slow the spread of ticks and tick-borne diseases. A lot of rodents serve as tick highways to spread into new areas, which is how the lone star ticks are starting to really make their way into new regions.
CWD, a prion disease, is spreading through deer and elk out here in the west, but wolves are immune to it and other diseases.
And opossums to eat the ticks that do make it there.
