When Does a Tick Bite Need Antibiotics? medscape.com/viewarticle/wh…
An invasive species of tick from the Far East was discovered on #Nantucket for the first time last month. The Asian longhorned tick, which was first detected in the United States in 2017, has made its way to the island. nantucketcurrent.com/news/new-invas…
@thetickguy One sock with permethrin the other without. Hunting chiggers but stumbled into lone star larval bomb. 2 days later, thank God for benadryl cream.
@TuftsLyme The best odor neutralizer I know for carcasses is sporicidin with 0.5% glutaraldehyde. It is the standard disinfectant in my lab but I have used it for dogshit on my shoes, deer rumen fluid in my truck, fish smells...and who doesn't love the smell of phenol?
@RepMcGovern @ShrewsburyMAGov There is nothing wrong with that dam. Why fix what ain't broke? (I live across the street.)
Partners In Health announced that its founder, Dr. Paul Farmer, unexpectedly passed away today in his sleep while in Rwanda. Dr. Farmer was 62 years old. He is survived by his wife, Didi Bertrand Farmer, and their three children. 1/🧵
People who enjoy meetings should not be in charge of anything.
Of all ignorance, the ignorance of the educated is the most dangerous. Not only are educated people likely to have more influence, they are the last people to suspect that they don't know what they are talking about when they go outside their narrow fields.
The least productive people are usually the ones who are most in favor of holding meetings.
Community policies to reduce #SARSCoV2 transmission (eg restricting indoor restaurant dining) & school policies to postpone higher-risk activities (eg, indoor sports practice or competition) can help ensure safe reopening and operation of schools @CDCgov ja.ma/2YjW15O
Virtually everybody is worse off than somebody else, if only in one dimension, so there are nearly unlimited opportunities to pander to people's sense of injustice, victimhood and entitlement.
The least productive people are usually the ones who are most in favor of holding meetings.
Ours may become the first civilization destroyed, not by the power of our enemies, but by the ignorance of our teachers and the dangerous nonsense they are teaching our children. In an age of artificial intelligence, they are creating artificial stupidity.
This is India. Even the six-foot rule is totally impractical. Yet there are relatively few #Coronavirus cases. Is it the heat? Humidity? Inoculations against malaria and other infections? I’d really like to know
In light of health decisions made from local to global, a reminder. The profession trained to detect and control emerging infections, who took an oath for "promotion of public health": veterinarians. Include them in your conversations please. It will matter. @ASTMH
