Hi John, I've watched your channel for the last two years and very much have appreciated your videos. However I'd like to mention that Lyme disease is not trivial! I have chronic Lyme disease as a result of having been bitten in England in 1999 when not much was known about it. I had the bullseye rash but was sent away by the GP who said 'there's no Lyme disease in Surrey.' Not everyone will get a bullseye or EM rash, though you were correct in saying people who do get bitten should keep an eye out for any signs of being unwell. Ideally people should have a tick removal tool (small, inexpensive) and learn the proper way to take out a tick to avoid leaving the head in, as that can be the infectious part. Also, a little tiny tick can pass on not just the Lyme disease bacteria called borrelia, but also other coinfections (some bacterial, some not) which can cause their own set of symptoms and need slightly different treatment. I'm only sharing these things because I wouldn't want anyone else to go through what I have - as it's been a long traumatic and expensive experience, since the NHS guidelines don't allow for any treatment for Lyme and coinfections once they are chronic. Best wishes to you and I hope you stay well!

Don't leave the tick there that will increase the risk of catching TBE IF and only IF the tick was a carrier. Use a removal device, a proper one that does not squeeze either the head or the body. Afterwards check and double check if a jaw got dislodged- if so use a pincer to remove it. The only bad advise you missed was using butter or oil (the tick like most arachnids beathe through their exoskeleton and 'choking' them will trigger them to vomit into the wound). Ofc it takes a long while (depending on where it sticks) before it has drilled itself into a blood vessel (contrary to a mosquito it has evolved to drink blood without making a sting since the only escape it has is to drop off the host). The tick on his picture has been there for far too long and he left the jaws there. So he made two big no-nos. I get atleast 40 ticks on me per year at the minimum.

By removing it without killing it, you can prevent infection altogether provided you get it out early enough.

Thank you Dr Campbell. I am afraid that the head of the parasite remains inside and needs to be removed , under magnification by a surgeon. The technique of removal must be by grasping it with a flat forceps as close as possible to the head of it. It is helpful to raise the skin in a fold between index and thumb. Then we are exerting lite force pulling it vertically. Avoid squeezing the belly of the tick, because this increases the risk of disease transmission. Removal during the first 24 hours is reducing , significantly the risk of the disease transmission. In case, like yours, there are parts remaining embedded into the skin , must be removed with fine forceps (like iris forceps) under magnification . Otherwise you will develop a foreign body granuloma or even a small abscess. Dr Dimitrios Gakis MD, Consultant Surgeon, Greece.

HI John, Appreciate your effort greatly! As someone who picked up Borrelia from a tick in Europe (UK, or Norway) - I can't stress how seriously to take this. Please consider some prophylactic treatment (ie. 6 weeks of doxy - it must be done early), plus whatever other immune boosting you wish. Whilst you may have a robust constitution, the benefits of the antibiotics course, well outweigh the downside (the downside - I deal with daily and constantly, so can attest to). Note: whilst you may not have Borrelia (Lyme), there are numerous co-infections that are still just as bad (namely all the Rickettsia, Bartonella, Anaplasma etc) - doxy will work for many. Have a great week, Mat

Howdy from Southeast Texas. A trick I've used to get the tick to release is heat. A lighter or match progressively getting closer and sweeping the tick sometimes makes it release. I've see instances where the simply won't release, but that would be no worse that just pulling. Might try it next time. Keep up the good work!

When I was a young girl, I got a tick behind my ear while we were camping. My uncle lit a match, blew it out and then held it up right next to the tick. That little sucker backed right out of my skin. Freaked me out as a young child but I was so relieved when it was out. Ewwww!!

In Canada, most provinces have started reporting hospitalizations in terms of people admitted specifically for covid, and excluding those who contract covid after being admitted for another reason. But it's all rather piecemeal from province to province. It's made much of the data pretty much unusable because there are too many variations in how it's being reported. And testing has pretty much bottomed out altogether. In my province, only people over 50 are able to get a PCR test. Everyone else is referred to pick up rapid tests, and they are encouraged to report positive tests to a website portal, but it's not mandatory. So the testing data is also pretty much useless.

[@marklemont3735]

In my US county south of your border, they report the number hospitalized with COVID and those admitted because of COVID. It seems to be a good measure as COVID cases get worse,more are admitted because of COVID. We had 200k positive in the US the other day and now the 4th of July festivities will drive that higher.

Well, we can't test forever. Did not happen to the common cold and the flu that can also kill the vulnerable. This is the reason I feel that the big pharma shills never encouraged early treatments and demonized the FLCCC protocol because that would stop the hysteria if people are encouraged to take early treatments like what they do with other diseases instead of relying on waning "vaccines" and constant testing that earned big pharma and other crony capitalists millions/billions.

I live in BC Canaduh. They used to give us daily case counts and now they give us 7 day averages and I went to get tested once and they were trying to convince people they didn't qualify to be tested while I was waiting. This health care system was broken way before the pandemic and it's scary to think if you need health care that all you are going to get is long wait lists and lies from doctors. The government and doctors never tell you anything but what they want you to think. If you have something wrong with you the doctor will either treat it or not but you will never know exactly what is going on. My girlfriend had nail fungus on her toes. She was sent to a "Specialist" who didn't tell her what it was, he just charged her 40 dollars a pop to trim her toenails. He told her never to let anyone else trim them. I looked online and soaked her feet in apple cider vinegar until the fungus was gone. Canaduh is disgusting.

As someone with chronic Lyme, I appreciate your advocacy about ticks. I live in an endemic state, NW Wisconsin. Those of us with Lyme, chronically, or who have had tick borne infections & recovered, try to spread awareness as often as possible. Funny (& tragic) how vets take it more seriously than doctors in the USA. My dog Molly gets tested annually bc of where we live, yet I've had my doctor ignore that chronic Lyme even exists. How is that possible in this day & age? What happened with Covid is just proof of how willful ignorance can hijack a pandemic & recovery of human beings. Fyi- 300,000 people get infected with tick borne illnesses EVERY YEAR in the USA. Yet it never hardly gets any attention at all. I believe too many are walking around with Lyme and they get diagnosed with other things bc Lyme became politically weaponized due to the CDC in the 80's-90's who cared more about making $$ on patents than treating the horrific diseases from ticks. (Do research on this if you dare) to go down a huge rabbit hole of lies & greed. We still don't have proper testing after decades and decades of misinformation in the medical/research community, i.e. massive coverup by some nefarious actors in the patent field. How many have gotten ill from ticks in my family? (Wisconsin) Myself (disabled), my son at age 9, misdiagnosed for several weeks by his doctor, but cured bc I strongly advocated for him to get treatment for longer than 3 weeks, bc the Lyme (borellia) infection had become disseminated by the time he tested positive. My Mom moved to be near me and got Lyme Disease from gardening, despite my warnings, but got her treatment by a Lyme specialist. She has since moved back to Ohio. My mother-in-law got Anaplasmosis, and stated she thought she was dying & could have had she not been brought to the ER. Cured after several weeks of antibiotics. I believe had she not been told to beware of ticks, bc of my own bad outcome, who knows? And we've had several dogs get sick with Lyme despite tick prevention & vaccinations. My in-laws dog died last year. FYI: The bullseye rash only shows up in 50-75% of an active borellia infection! So that leaves a lot of people, esp. children, sick for a lifetime, and yes, you can die from Lyme (bacterial meningitis, heart infection, etc) or from other acute tick infections. Please do tick checks when you come in from outdoors, and bath your kids after they come in!! Thank you for reading my long comment. This issue is important to discuss, to spread awareness at the very least and hopefully save lives. If you want one more rabbit hole to go down, research what the corrupt CDC did to Lyme testing back in the 80-90's & research Plum Island (lab) bc that's why Lyme is so difficult to treat once it gets past the acute stage of the disease. Stay safe!

That would also explain why the CDC has always wanted to ignore it.

Ticks don't know state lines, but they are sensitive to latitude and the associated weather conditions. My doctor told me that dog ticks aren't carriers of Lyme, that only deer ticks are, and those are *much* smaller and harder to see. Nothing's for certain, but that seemed worth bearing in mind.

My husband is a retired physician, his internist treated him for Lyme after he was bitten at the same time and in the same area. The doctor stated to my husband that there is never a positive Lyme test in SC because, if there were, it would hurt our tourist trade. My doctor refused to treat me and I ended up with Chronic Lyme disease. The tick you showed on the video was much larger than a deer tick. The tick I took off my head fit between the nail if my index finder and my thumb nail, tiny tick. In the US we call the tick you showed us a woods tick. They do not carry Lyme disease.

Very sorry to see you had a tick embed so deeply, John. I have been treated for Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever twice with doxycycline. In 1993 a blood test confirmed at state lab but took 2 weeks. My Dr then gave me to drug but did not believe I had the disease despite my excruciating headache, nausea, fever because there was no rash and I removed the tick within 2 hours of it being attached. But it was on my kneecap under jeans and all its juice had squeezed into my blood. My Dr called and personally apologized 2 weeks later saying if I had delayed another week I might have died as it had been 5 days already with symptoms. My last time to be exposed was 2018 and the tick was on for over a day under my waist band over my hip. I got symptoms in 2 days with a rash similar to yours. A different Dr in a different state had no idea what to do. After quick research confirming what i had printed from the web, she gave the doxycycline and said CDC recommends it immediately for 2 weeks without testing... but 6-8 weeks for Lyme endemic areas. I had the tick in a baggie but neither me nor Dr could find any way to test it. Don't delay!! Waiting makes it likely with Lyme you wont get a cure and it can be debilitating. With RMSF (rickettsial disease) that I had, you could be dead with organ failure in 3 weeks if treatment not started early. I 'knew' someone who waited.

In the California foothills where I live we have deer ticks and lyme disease . I hate ticks though I have only been bit once by a wood tick . If you walk along trails used by deer you can actually predict where you will see them if you look closely . Ticks tend to be on the ends of grasses and or other plant stems that protrude into the sides of the trail . Look closely and you can see them and even small bunches of them on the grass tips in the fall . When deer or other animals are walking down these trails the grass will brush the fur of the deer and the tick will stick out it some of it's legs and grab on . If you see them walk by and watch closely without touching the grass and you will see them sticking their legs out as you walk past . Not sure if the sense vibration or CO2 but they know when you pass by . They don't jump on you like some claim . I am always looking at the vegetation along trails and avoiding contact . I always wear light colored pants to detect ticks if the trail is too narrow to avoid contacting vegetation on the sides . From my observations they will typically get on you from the upper calf to knee level and start climbing upwards as fast as they can . If contact is unavoidable when you get to the next clear section of trail check your legs carefully front and back . If you are hiking with others help each other to look for ticks .

If you should have a possum in your garden or woods, please leave it be. They are considered ugly but one of their favorite foods is Ticks. If you live in an old wooden house or have outbuildings they also love termites and ants that eat wood. Mine also likes chicken food if I spill a little but they do not bother chickens or people, they just go out at night and eat nasty bugs. My cats are terrified of them and will not walk past one even when it is all curled up playing dead. The cats yowl and I have to carry them past possum so they can come in. My tom cat is bigger than the possum. A bit more trivia.

Had Lyme back in 2016 . Developed the classic bullseye and was sick as dog over Memorial Day weekend here in the states . So basically my doctor couldn’t see me until that Tuesday. Put on a 21 day antibiotic. Was probably worse than the delta Covid I had last august. Symptoms only lasted about 4 days as opposed 12 days with Covid. Only reason why Covid was worse along with the fatigue . Like you said , it likes to linger. Didn’t think Lyme was in the UK cause as far as I know it’s not detected in every state of the union yet. Luckily I haven’t had any long lasting complications from Lyme, think it was the early intervention of antibiotics and being aware of its symptoms . It’s very common place in the northeast states , especially in my county where doctors are aware as our most people. Thanks for the info , good luck with that tick bite ! Ticks suck , literally!

Tku Dr Campbell for your tireless work. You have saved me and I am sure many many others from complete despair about the medical community and gov handling . Seeing you sift and study the latest papers and info from normal people affected and seeing you care about them all this time since the beginning of the pandemic has been deeply important .And tku for mentioning Lyme. I acquired Lyme after the huge earthquake of 2010in my country of origin, Chile.I happened to go with the medical teams on the 1st days after, to the worst zones affected by the earthquake and on return home a week later I developed a red zone in one of my tights. That red zone tended to grow together with flu like symptoms and then a white area around. I did not gave it full attention until the “bull eye” figure did appear 🎯. Luckily for me my son was at medical school at that time and was studying infectious diseases. He recognized the figure from his book and we went to a doctor, a couple of weeks later I was given antibiotics for a month. The medical diagnosis was that they catched the infection in the middle of its development and It ment widespread damage to my joints but not total damage neither fairly little or almost none damage if early treatment had been possible. The tick carrier of the spirochete ( that is the classification) was only found by the University of La Frontera years later. There was a suspicion that Lyme existed here in the south of the world I was told, but no confirmation until years later That tks to scientific work done by Universities here. I tell you the story for others to be more careful with this tick thing. One tends to not give much attention to this skin things being summer and all that and one should. I now suffer the consequences in my knees and shoulders mostly. It is quite painful. When I asked the infectious diseases doctor-why this has not been publicized widely in this country ?-his answer was -“ we don’t want to spread panic” - rather curious answer don’t you think?

Dr John, Re: TICKS Please advise your viewers more about ticks. Those that carry Lyme are very common in the NE of the US and ever more so here in eastern Ontario, Canada. 1. Removal by turning or twisting out the tick without pressure on its abdomen is key. The tick will back itself out and let go. There are devices available for this which look like little pry bars or crow bars. Failing that one could simply turn it around and around carefully with tweezers (again avoid pressure on the abdomen or it will inject into the skin) or a Qtip. Data I’ve read suggests infection doesn’t set in until after 36-48 hours so getting it out within this time frame greatly reduces chances of infection. 2. Clean and sanitize everything as well as the wound after removal since the bacteria responsible for Lyme can be on the outside of the tick. 3. Monitor the site as you are doing after removal. Look for signs of infection and if you do notice this, get antibiotics as soon as possible. The telltale ‘bullseye’ or concentric rings as you call it only shows up in some cases. 4. For the antibiotics, I’ve heard 5-6 weeks is more effective. Keep up the yogurt or probiotics to repopulate good bacteria your gut needs that the antibiotics will decimate along with the bad bacteria responsible for Lyme disease. 5. The other option that I’d highly recommend and can be used with a course of antibiotics is the Schueneman protocol developed by a chemist friend. It’s on the internet but basically involves the sugar free sweetener, stevia. Twenty drops in a bit of water 3-4 times a day. Super easy and, more importantly, from a plant you can grow in your garden so it is safe. Anecdotal evidence very good in our tick-infested area, but sadly no clinical studies as there’s zero money to be made by the pharmaceutical establishment. I hope you don’t get an infection from that bit of embedded tick in your shoulder. Stay healthy!

[@mareegray2597]

We cover the tick with Vicks vapour rub here (Australia fnq) first for a minute to help the tick back itself out before removal. I have bad reactions to tick bites, leeches as well (swelling andrash) gets worse each time and some are tiny and Vicks helps not have them react. They itch for months and doctors are not concerned which concerns me.....

[@gmun2248]

To remove a tick, use **fine tipped tweezers** (not eyebrow tweezers), grip as close to the skin as possible so you are pulling by the mouth parts and pull straight upwards. A tick removal tool, e.g. a 'Tick Twister' (the name, don't twist them either) can get at the right area and are especially effective for the tinier ticks, or nymphs, which can be the size of a poppy seed. NEVER put anything (fire, Vaseline - old remedies) on a tick. It irritates it and causes it to regurgitate its stomach contents into the bloodstream (where its mouth parts are attacked & it is feeding). Unfortunately, breaking it apart can sometimes cause this to happen too. Ticks can carry multiple microbes that cause illness, including Lyme Disease, babesia, bartonella, erlichia & others. They are nicknamed 'nature's dirty needle'. Different studies show that many people do not develop an erythema migrans ('bullseye' rash) & also that atypical rashes are not uncommon in those who do develop needle. Studies vary from 11% - 68%. A typical bullseye rash is the only thing diagnostic of Lyme, but obviously should not be relied upon for exclusion. There is no good evidence to support the idea that a tick has to be attached for a certain amount of time before it can transmit disease. This 'fact' is based on one study in mice from the 90s, but has persisted. Microbiology research into borrelia has far more updated information. Lyme can be treated in its acute stage. Once it becomes disseminated there is no known cure. Testing is not good (data, not opinion), results are about 50/50 from standard tests used. False negatives are common because borrelia spirochetes are known to evade the immune system response, meaning no detectable antibodies (multiple articles in the Journal of Veterinary Microbiology). We do not have good data for Lyme in the UK. In endemic areas of the US, a course of doxycyline is given prophylactically for a tick bite. This is the only way to prevent chronic disease, which many people don't know they have until they become extremely ill. It's not uncommon for a virus, or other infection to cause dormant borrelia to become active. That was my experience 17 years ago & I have lived with relapses & a Rollercoaster of health since then. Please be informed about Lyme, be tick aware, tick check if you have been outside and KNOW HOW TO REMOVE A TICK.

More young people seem to be getting sick than the older people 2. Most (80%) are getting quite sick, bed bound for three days 3. Those obsessed with testing show positive results even after their symptoms have waned, up to a week and a half after the original symptoms presented. 4. Fatigue hangs around for a week after the acute symptoms are gone.

My 13 year old daughter was sick for 4 days where she was mostly fatigue but she was up and doing stuff the entire time. My husband and I, hit us a bit harder but not too terrible.

One of the most interesting things about an interview I saw with a vet named Geert explained that we as a species, never develop sterilizing T-cell immunity against coronaviruses, probably because the vast majority of us recover so quickly that the T-cells do not have time to mature. So, if the powers that be knew that we would never have sterilizing immunity, why was the public sold the idea that we could wipe this virus out through vaccination?

[@reallycoooool]

We were told that we would get sterilizeing immunity by most western governments to get us to take the vaccines. Western governments did not have the power to mandate vaccination.

Dr John , the tick removal is best done by a tick removal tool and turning it anti clockwise to unscrew the tick. This method generally results in the head coming out intact reducing the chance of inflammation and possible disease transmission/ infection. When you pull the tick straight out it can regurgitate the contents of its stomach containing possible lyme disease more readily and passing this onto its host. This info is common knowledge amongst dog owners who come into contact with the parasites quite regularly. Hope this helps. 🙏
