"The findings underscore the need for increased surveillance, public awareness, & preventive measures against tick-borne diseases in the Mid-Atlantic region," said Ellen Stromdahl, Ph.D., a retired entomologist at the Vector-Borne Disease Laboratory. "[Clinicians] should consider babesiosis in the differential diagnosis for patients with febrile illness, particularly during peak tick-activity seasons."

“Most medications we have in our toolbox kill pathogens, but we were thrilled to find that fluoxetine [Prozac] can protect tissues and organs, too. It’s essentially playing offense and defense, which is ideal, and especially exciting to see in a drug that we already know is safe to use in humans,” said Professor Janelle Ayres, holder of the Salk Institute Legacy Chair and an HHMI Investigator.

Ah, missed it... Michigan now on the measles board.

Michigan Health & Human Services:

March 14, 2025

OAKLAND, Mich. – The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) and Oakland County Health Division have confirmed an adult case of measles in Oakland County. This is the first confirmed case of measles in Michigan this year and the first case since July 2024.

The infected adult had recent overseas travel and their vaccination status is unknown.

"If an infected individual is shedding virus via tears, it could reach the nasal cavity, where it could go more directly to the brain," said Professor Deepak Shukla of the Univeersity of Illinois at Chicago. "I think it's underdiagnosed and understudied, but the neurological consequences, we believe, are much more severe than you would normally see with fever blisters or ocular infection."

It's JUST measles! A lot of people do not remember the pre-vaccine days.
Thanks to @darcrich.bsky.social

Took the cone off #Mellie for the first time since Saturday visit to the local vet.

She has an #infection on the inner thigh where the bandaid was.

Putting cortisone cream on it 3 times a day and it seems to be working.
