Cases of tick-borne illnesses are on the rise. Some experts believe climate change is the cause

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:00:22 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — In 2022, doctors recorded the first confirmed case of tick-borne encephalitis virus acquired in the United Kingdom.It began with a bike ride.A 50-year-old man was mountain biking in the North Yorkshire Moors, a national park in England known for its vast expanses of woodland and purple heather. At some point on his ride, at least one black-legged tick burrowed into his skin. Five days later, the mountain biker developed symptoms commonly associated with a viral infection — fatigue, muscle pain, fever.At first, he seemed to be on the mend, but about a week later, he started to lose coordination. An MRI scan revealed he had developed encephalitis, or swelling of the brain. He had been infected with tick-borne encephalitis, or TBE, a potentially deadly disease that experts say is spreading into new regions due in large part to global warming.___EDITOR’S NOTE: This story is part of a collaboration between The Associated Press and Grist exploring the intersectio...

Howie Carr: Bad week for Biden Inc.

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:00:22 GMT

With all of Hunter Biden’s problems with the law, it’s been a very bad week for Dementia Joe.But on Tuesday the president announced one incredible triumph that had gone completely unnoticed until now.“We ended cancer as we know it.”That’s an exact quote, by the way. Here’s the entire context, from a press briefing at the White House. Dementia Joe explained how he gets asked questions, like this one.“If you could do anything at all Joe what you do? I said I’d cure cancer. And they looked at me like, ‘Why cancer?’ Because no one thinks we can, that’s why. And we can. We ended cancer as we know it.”Amazing! Who knew?Sadly, the official White House transcript misquoted the Big Guy. Joe’s caregivers took his actual words, “We ended cancer as we know it,” and falsely changed them to something he did not say: “We can end cancer as we know it.”This was at the same press briefing where Brandon announced yet another downward revision in the nation’s phony-baloney COVID death statistics. You m...

Readers sound off on MLB politics, sidewalk safety and the Twitter logo

Legendary players deserve a place in the HallOceanside, L.I.: To Voicer Vinny Armiento, who wonders why the Yankees never had a day to honor Graig Nettles: I totally agree with you. He was possibly the best third baseman in Yankee history, drug cheat Alex Rodriguez included.But I’ll tell you why they never honored him: Because he wasn’t afraid to hide his disdain for George Steinbrenner. So, George refused to retire his number and give him his day (Number 9 was retired for Roger Maris). Check out the end of the Yankees win over Boston in the Bucky Dent game. Nettles makes the catch, and after celebrating with his teammates on the field, he runs right past George — who clearly wanted his attention — into the dugout. That was no accident.Meanwhile, although I find Fred McGriff deserving of the Hall of Fame honor, it bothers me to no end that Don Mattingly can’t get in because he supposedly didn’t have enough good years. Check out the back of his bas...
