Wtf Is This? Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever case found in UK...

So what fresh hell is this?




Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic Fever?

Is this some anti Russian/African Psy-Op or am I being paranoid?

UK officials say they have found a confirmed case of a viral illness called Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever in England.

The woman, who is being treated at the Royal Free Hospital in London, had recently travelled to Central Asia, where this tick bite infection is endemic.

The disease does not spread easily between people, meaning the risk to the public is very low, say experts.

It is not carried by ticks in the UK.

It is the third known case of the fever in the UK, with prior cases reported in 2012 and 2014.

The disease can be caught from contact with infected blood or tissues from a person or animal.

Symptoms then develop quite quickly - after a few days - and include fever, aches, nausea and vomiting, and a rash caused by bleeding into the skin.

Patients can become severely ill with organ damage, which can be fatal.

I have a feeling a lot more random viruses are going to be... uh, "leaked."

Probably.

The fear factor must be sustained.

Haha, it even has what looks like a facehugger inside of it...

Damn!
Up here they carry Lyme disease, Which is bad enough.

You can walk through your tall grass in the summer and pull 20 of these vile buggers off you after.

Ticks are the worst. The only good thing about them is they will release if you hold a lit cigarette near them.

Still sucks but it's satisfying to watch the buggers scarper.

Ticks are blood sucking parasites that spread diseases to humans, pets and livestock.

Ticks carry these dangerous diseases -

* Lyme disease
* Rocky Mountain spotted fever
* Powassan encephalitis
* Tularemia
* Anaplasmosis
* Babesiosis,
* Ehrlichia muris

Now we've another to add to the list. Ticks are vile and must die.

With the amount of illegals coming over by boat, I expect to read about other viruses which came here via a "woman travelling to Asia".

I don't believe the narrative here... I would say it was bought over with Illegals!

A tourist when to some far flung foreign country and brought caught a tropical disease.

Big whoop.

It's like going to Cancun and coming back with chlamydia. Nobody calls that a conspiracy, do they.

With the illegals on boats you mostly need to worry about drug resistant TB.

There's already more of that in the Country... going through the roof with cases here in UK.

As I recall, they had to stop checking people at the border because it was seen as being discriminatory.

Sounds like you know from experience.

I've got lots of experience telling you that things aren't conspiracies.
