It spreads like Lyme disease, but doctors say it's even worse. Ticks in parts of the northeastern U.S. and around the Great Lakes have been found to carry a rare and potentially life-threatening virus."You can get seizures, high fevers, stiff neck. It comes on so suddenly that it's the kind of thing people go to the emergency room for," he explained.Doctors warn that the Powassan virus can come on with very sudden, severe symptoms. There is no known treatment or cure."The doctor just has to support you during the acute illness and hope that you survive," Dr. Daniel Cameron explained.LINK 4951

My friend in NJ was telling me about this just yesterday. She said no cure or vaccine & it can be fatal. It's all over the news up there.  I know people who were infected with Lyme Disease, and if not caught early it can turn into enormous health problems. 4951
