Insect borne illnesses were on the table at Tea Time for Simmaron
Clusters or outbreaks first put ME/CFS on the map over twenty years ago. The clusters are still occurring – every infectious outbreak from Giardia to SARS leaves behind a set of ME/CFS-like patients – but they’ve rarely been studied in ME/CFS.
The Simmaron Research Institute is putting clusters back on the map with a study examining clusters of insect triggered ME/CFS. The study is driven by the recognition that insect borne illnesses are rarely tested for but can often cause long term ME/CFS-like illnesses.
Could your ME/CFS have been triggered by a mosquito or tick bite? Could you have an undiagnosed but possibly treatable infection? The lead investigator, Konstance Knox, thinks the answers will surprise. Find out more in
I thought so. I just knew it! Just a gut feeling, but I knew the way I have felt this past year was because of the mosquito bites. Living south of St. Louis, we have had a terrible humid summer 2018 and the little critters were everywhere. At first I thought it was the usual sinus problems or my dry Maccular Degeneration. But I just felt different since last summer.
Help.
What is the research behind this ?? Can someone please send me it !!
I recently had a vacation in Malta ( October 2019 ) I got over 30 bites and I suffer from M.E. When I came home I got a rash of spots on my neck and felt even more drained than usual. Some of the bites are still evident on my lower leg and they were seeping with clear liquid.
I was on holiday 11 years ago and a woke up coverd in bites they were large sweeping itching all over me my face arms legs just everywhere..I did go to doctors and got injections and antibiotics but still have to go to the doctors when I got home they were so bad but I fell ill not long after that and my doctor said it wasn’t enything to do with the bites it was fibromyalga
You know its funny – no one knows what causes fibromyalgia – yet your doctor knows those bites didn’t. I wonder if he/she feels any differently given what we’ve learned about the coronavirus and other pathogens.
