Disease Reference Link

https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/diseases/

Had just read forum discussion re ticks.

Above is a handy cyber reference list for some of the diseases to include:
- African Tick-Bite Fever
- Tick-borne Encephalitis

I did notice above link omits something I still have remnants of : Kala Azar. It's from sand flies and probably has more than 1 name.

My use of the CDC link is primarily because it is easy to load and usually - but not always - I get human answers to my questions routed to them via their "further info" link.

 

Lone Wolf,

Agree.

My triangular sense of symmetry requires me to also mention the downstream - whether measured in hours or days - mosquito-borne pathogens following the cholera and typhoid.

Lone Wolf,

Merci; I vaguely remember Thucydides.

If those tented "rescue" villages are public sector provided emergency shelters: Yes, they are disease-laden from the initial opening and then it gets worst. Our co-located animal shelter for emergencies is cleaner and healthier.

If I must work the emergency shelter, I'd be up and working during the night. For a couple of daytime naps, it is well known among the responders that I'll be resting with the dogs. Their area is cleaner, quieter, more tranquil. The registrants appreciate the responders - and I'll get some affection. Many a literary figure explained this.
