One Health for Tick-Borne Diseases: Linking Human and Veterinary Medicine

About The Event
One Health is an integrated, unifying approach that aims to sustainably balance and optimize the health of people, animals and ecosystems. It recognizes the health of humans, domestic and wild animals, plants, and the wider environment (including ecosystems) are closely linked and inter-dependent.
The approach mobilizes multiple sectors, disciplines and communities at varying levels of society to work together to foster well-being and tackle threats to health and ecosystems, while addressing the collective need for clean water, energy and air, safe and nutritious food, taking action on climate changes and contributing to sustainable development.
This event will review the One Health structure and how it related to tick-borne disease.

Haven't humans been dealing with ticks since the dawn of time? Our ancestors were probably getting bitten by ticks on a regular basis, we all have been living with microbes from the beginning, from the time we are born into this world and we are exposed to air and are able to ingest through our mouths, microbes become a part of all our lives, it's unavoidable, some microbes are good for us and some microbes are bad and so the question is how do we protect ourselves from the bad microbes? I personally believe that most people these days have an immune system that is down regulated and not as strong as the immune systems of our forefathers and when the immune system is weak it cannot protect against these microbes as it's supposed to. And so why do you think that is? Why are our immune systems of today so much weaker than our great grandparents? It all boils down to a few things like environmental pollution, and unhealthy unnatural food that can't provide us with the optimal nutrients we require. Industrialization of the world is taking its toll and I suspect that we are in for much more sickness and biological dysfunction. Protect yourself, stop eating unhealthy highly processed foods, only go for whole food as mother nature intended, do your best to keep the water you drink pure and chemical free and just know that pollution is way more the problem than just focusing on Lyme. Keep your immune system strong and it will fight for you in the microbial war.
