The Associated Press reported in August (2014) that a specific type of tick, which is normally found in the American Southwest, is now appearing all over the US; however, it’s what happens after the tick bite that has stunned even physicians.
The infected tick can cause an allergic response so terrible with its bite that it can send an individual into anaphylaxis, which is a life-threatening allergic reaction.
However, the reaction occurs only if the bitten individual eats red meat and, even more unbelievably, it takes about six to eight hours for the reaction to take place.
Much as with Lyme disease, the allergic response is appearing all over the US, but only from a creature known as the “Lone Star Tick.” The effects from the bite appear to be ongoing with regard to the extraordinarily odd red meat allergic reaction.
Newer Tick-Borne Viruses Emerge
Regarding the now newly ubiquitous “Lone Star Tick” there is a bit more to the story, from a website called Preventdisease.com a research specialist and consumer advocate, had this to say:
Researcher and entomologist Jaime Lombard says the ticks have been in circulation for a few years however the latest crop released are becoming more potent. “Scientists have been experimenting on ticks since the 1960s because of their ability to spread disease. Since then, genetically engineered ticks have become more potent and scientists can create human disease almost at will,” he stated.
Shortly after the National Bio and Agro defense facility had moved its operations into Kansas, two new potentially fatal tick-borne diseases emerged in Kansas.
From the AP comes the first story on the most recently discovered disease :
“A new virus thought to be carried by ticks or other insects has been discovered following the death of a southeast Kansas resident during the summer, public health officials said Monday.
The new virus is called Bourbon virus, after Bourbon County, home of the patient who died. The Kansas Department of Health and Environment said the patient’s symptoms, including fever and fatigue, were similar to symptoms from other tick-borne diseases.
The Kansas health department said testing by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed that the patient had a virus not previously identified. Health department spokeswoman Aimee Rosenow said it’s still not clear how much the Bourbon virus contributed to the patient’s death.
“This was the first known instance and the only confirmed case,” Rosenow said. “This is a new virus, and we are still learning.”
The health department declined to identify the victim of the virus or provide details about the case, saying it was protecting the privacy of the patient and family members.”
Even worse, there is also yet another tick-born disease, which has emerged in Kansas as well, called “The Heartland Virus.” This story from the Fort Scott Tribune:
The Heartland virus is also a relatively new tick-borne virus that is carried by the Lone Star tick. According to the CDC, there is also currently no vaccine or medication to treat or cure the Heartland virus.
But, more interesting might be the proximity of the Bourbon viruses’ initial hot zone, which is a knight-like move of only about 200 miles away, from Manhattan, Kansas.
The Heartland virus, originated 182 miles away from Manhattan Kansas, in an almost geometrically identical movement compared to the Bourbon Virus.
The new bio-engineer warfare center located in Manhattan, Kansas, lies very near the geographic center of the US.
So, is there a specific type of causation involved?
The US government has long been associated with extreme duplicity with regard to human experimentation in cases ranging from the Tuskegee syphilis experiment, to the Government’s 1950 spraying of harmful bacteria over the population of San Francisco causing rampant pneumonia and even civilian deaths.
There was also the 1955 delivery of whooping cough by the CIA which caused an epidemic in Tampa Bay Florida, and in 1955, 300,000 yellow-fever carrying mosquitos were dropped over Georgia.
In 1957 there were numerous radioactive fallout tests which resulted in an epidemic of thyroid cancer; in 1971 a radiation test was conducted on poor black cancer victims. There were also the US military mustard gas experiments on our fighting men from 1942 to 1944, plus the MKultra experiments on mind control from 1953 to 1974.
In fact, the US government has conducted a wide range of civilian tests from a variety of hazards over numerous populations all throughout the 20th century. The question, inevitably becomes, has the US finally stopped experimenting on its population or will the 21st century mark a new era of government experimentation?
Now, with the US government’s latest involvement in nationalized healthcare under the auspices of Obamacare, perhaps the sky is no longer the limit.
A Confluence of Happenstance…
When we take the various components of these new illnesses and link them together, we find, at the very least, a series of new tick-borne diseases having commonly emerged.
Each located remarkably near government bio-hazard defense research centers, and each associated with insects routinely utilized as genetic research specimens due to unique attributes geared towards stealthily spreading debilitating illness.
The confluence of these diseases occurring within two separate geographic regions with bio-hazard warfare labs at each region’s epicenter would seem to suggest something other than bizarre happenstance.
