CC/Airborne aware friends: here are a few areas the hantavirus news has reminded me about where I can up my game a bit.Or maybe they are just a few things I can do to make myself feel like I'm doing something. That's valid, right?
1) Stock up on N95s. Always a good idea.
2) Order some tick repellent. Because...Lyme disease is nasty too.
3) Order more alcohol wipes (or research what to use to wipe down packages outside the house in case rodents have pooped on my packages.)
4) Wear a mask when digging in dirt. Even in my own yard. Where I have seen rodents and birds. Because... mice and birds both poop. In my yard. And they carry diseases. Avian influenza season cometh again.
5) Oh never mind. I'm tired, and that's all I can handle thinking about pathogens and poo tonight.

And remember that you only get one body, so treat it well." - Tania Dempsey, MD.

So those dealing with #PANS #PANDAS #Lyme #Bartonella #TickborneInfections have known this for years, even decades. This study includes over 14,000 children. Is anyone else listening yet?
Risk of major mental disorder after severe bacterial infection.
After bacterial infection, the risk of MMDs increased in children and adolescents compared to controls, and such associations varied with different pathogens. Future studies are warranted to validate our study findings and investigate the potential mechanisms.
