[–] Lansing-Michigan ago 

Don't have links but have read years ago that Plum Island off of NYC was infecting mosquitoes with Lymes disease.....which comes from ticks...so.....do know that US doctors were very hesitant for a long time to even diagnose it! Could be failing memory about the disease......but Plum Island had a melt down ....people were infected......US govt. was looking for another site for the lab...they were very interested in one in my home state of NC. At the head of a river which was very important for the state's water supply........the area in general was heavily populated and seemed like the last place good people would want to locate a bio weaponry lab. There was also another disease which came from tick bites.......forget the name of the bacteria but it caused a disease named relapse fever. A good friend had the symptoms but could not go to a doctor specializing in immuniology , sorry about the spelling.without a referral from a GP.... When she finally got to the specialist , he looked at the strange looking symptoms on her legs , went to his computer .......and I heard this with my own ears,stated, "It couldn't be relapse fever, because it keeps coming back." This particular tick born disease comes up from Mexico and South America. Our doctors are not familiar with it.......and of course, it doesn't get in the news because of political correctness. My son diagnosed the disease as he was taking microbiology at the time in nursing school. ......doctors had no idea.
