OK I couldn't resist.

Are you really this freaking stupid greatclod?

Do you really think this makes ANY sense?

Biomoron is right!

Can you even read? IT says that 18% didn't get EM. Not 100%. So are
some ticks "warmed up" and some not?

Are you really this freaking stupid? AND IGNORANT?

Steere and others have long recommended treating EMs positive test or
not.

Because the EM rash is considered pathognmonic (look it up). Which is
another valid reason to emphasize the importance of bullseye rashes.
When you see them, treat. That doesn't mean when you don't see them,
don't treat. The literature has long said that not everyone gets a
bullseye rash and that not all rashes are bullseyes.

Hey Ann why don't you tell this guy to watch his language?

Watch your language fishbrain.

Are you really this stupid or do you just play a moron on the
internut?

Listen: Ticks are COLD BLOODED. The mammals they feed on are
WARMBLOODED. OSPs are temperature upregulated by that fact NOT by the
result of ambient temperature in terms of whether it is 60 degress F
or 90 degrees F outside!

The entire premise of your blathering is so overly simplistic, ill
conceived and just flat out wrong. Where do you come up with this
crap? Bio moron is right. Moron period.

Listen I get that you're not a biologist or scientist or doctor. Just
don't pretend to be one and you'll be better off. Your ignorance (and
by that I mean lack of knowledge and understanding) of the subject
matter about which you then make grand pronouncements from your soap
box completely undercuts every point except the one on top of your
head which is clearly visible.

Sheesh.

I reserve the right to pop in to comment on nonsense like this. Now
back to my vacation after another response or two.
