5 Common Intestinal Parasites in Humans
Sure, we all know there are many types of parasites out there in our living environment. But have you ever stopped to think about whether those same parasites are making their home inside your body?
Intestinal parasites in humans are more common than may you think. In fact, there are hundreds of parasite species that can make their home in our intestinal tract, as well as many other places in the human body.
If you think you or somebody in your family has an intestinal parasite, here's what you need to know in order to treat the problem safely and quickly. It may be wise to look into doing a parasite cleanse or colon cleanse.
1) Hookworms
There are two species of hookworms that commonly infect humans, Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator americanus. Of the two, Ancylostoma duodenale is a bit larger, at around eight to thirteen millimeters. Whereas Necator americanus usually reaches a length of seven to nine millimeters.
The life cycle of these two intestinal parasites begins with eggs that are passed in the stool. If conditions are just right (warm, damp, and shady) the eggs will hatch and release their larvae in a number of days. The larvae will continue to grow and mature in the soil until they come in contact with a human host. The larvae can then penetrate the skin to enter the human body and travel through the veins to the heart and then to the lungs. Once in the lungs the parasites travel up the bronchial tree to the pharynx where they will be swallowed.
Hookworms will then grow and mature while making their home in the small intestines. If you take no immediate action, most of these parasitic worms will eventually be purged from the system, but this process may take a number of years. Hookworms are the second most common intestinal parasite in humans through out the world. These parasites can be found worldwide in areas with a moist, warm climate. Both species of worms can be found in Africa, Asia and the Americas.
2) Schistosoma Species
Schistosomiasis is disease caused by the human intestinal parasite of the Schistosoma family. The three main species infecting humans are Schistosoma haematobium, Schistosoma japonicum, and Schistosoma mansoni.
The life cycle of these types of organisms begins when their eggs are eliminated from a host in feces or urine. The eggs then hatch and release larvae that can swim until it penetrates its next host, a specific species of snail. It will then grow and mature in the snail until it is excreted again. At this point, the Schistosoma parasite is ready to infect a human host.
Once contact is made with a human, the parasite will penetrate the skin of the human host and travel through the tissues until it makes its home in the veins surrounding the intestines. As the parasite reaches maturity, it can deposit eggs in the intestines that then move throughout the system to the bladder and the ureters until they are excreted with the feces and urine. And the whole cycle begins again.
Schistosoma parasites can reach a length of seven to twenty millimeters. These specific human intestinal parasites are typically transmitted via contact with contaminated water, either by drinking, swimming or bathing in it. Not common in North America, Schistosoma parasites are primarily located in parts of South America and the Caribbean, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East.
3) Cyclospora cayetanensis
Another human intestinal parasite is caused by the species Cyclospora cayetanesis. Its life cycle begins with the passing of eggs into the soil with feces or urine from a contaminated host. However, unlike many parasite species, direct fecal contact will not cause a Cyclospora infection. Instead, the human intestinal parasite will enter the body through the consumption of contaminated food and water.
Once in the body, Cyclospora parasites will invade the intestinal tract and mature and multiply within the system. Eventually, the eggs of the parasite will be shed in the waste of the human host, beginning the cycle anew. Cyclospora cayetanensis has been found in many countries throughout the world. Since the early 1990s, there have been at least eleven cyclospora outbreaks in North America alone, infecting approximately four thousand people.
4) Giardia intestinalis
The single-celled protozoan human intestinal parasite known as Giardia intestinalis, or Giardia lamblia, is responsible for the condition called giardisis. The life cycle of this parasite begins with the excretion of parasitic cysts in the waste of an infected host. The cysts may survive for several months in the environmental, until they are ingested by the human host in contaminated water, food, or contact with contaminated feces.
Once in the human body, Giardia will move into the small intestine and multiply. As the parasite continues moving through the system, it may become encysted near the colon. This cyst will then work its way out of the body via feces or urine. These human intestinal parasites are infectious when passed in the stool; therefore it is possible for one human to contract this condition from another. Giardia have a worldwide distribution, and they are found most frequently in warm, moist climates.
5) Pinworm
Enterobius vermicularis is the human intestinal parasite that is also known as human pinworm, as humans are the only known host of this parasite species. Pinworms typically lay their eggs on the skin surrounding the anal area. Therefore self-infection can occur when a contaminated individuals scratches the anal area and transfers the eggs on his hands to his mouth.
Human to human transmission is also possible via contact with contaminated clothes, toilet, surfaces, or bed linens. Pinworm eggs may also become airborne and infect a human via inhalation. Once inside the human body, pinworm eggs travel to the small intestine where they hatch and mature. Adult pinworms make their home in the human colon, where they can live for several months.
Once the female pinworms reach maturity, they will travel through the system and exit via the anus, where they will lay their eggs. These pinworm infections occur all over the world, most frequently in school-aged children or in overpopulated areas. This is the most common human intestinal parasite worm infection in the United States, with as estimated 40 million persons infected.

Can Richard Pitino's Gophers still salvage an NCAA tourney spot?
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
The Minnesota Gophers hit arguably the lowest point in their season Wednesday when lowly Illinois, one of the Big Ten's two last place teams, left them shell-shocked at home with a 13-point defeat.
With Richard Pitino's squad (17-10, 6-8) already floating at or near the NCAA tournament bubble, it was the type of loss that certainly won't look good on their final resume.
Four games remain on the Gophers' schedule, their next three of which come against No. 24 Ohio State, No. 15 Iowa and No. 20 Michigan. They need two more wins to match their Big Ten record from a year ago (8-10) and three to reach the .500 mark.
Was the Illinois loss the breaking point for the Gophers' tourney bubble? As it currently stands, the Gophers' hopes of a spot in the Big Dance appear to still be alive, albeit barely.
ESPN analyst Joe Lunardi thinks so. In his latest Bracketology projection, Lunardi put the Gophers into an 11-seed in the East region against No. 6-seed Oklahoma. However, Lunardi noted that Minnesota is trending downward.
Lunardi isn't the only tourney prognosticator still penciling in the Gophers. CBS Sports' Jerry Palm has Minnesota right on the edge of a bid, putting them into the 12-seed play-in game against Providence in his Friday bracket update.
USA Today has also kept the Gophers in, slotted at No. 11 in the West region against UConn.
The Gophers can still salvage its second straight NCAA tournament bid this season, but the margin for error has narrowed drastically. Outside a Big Ten tournament championship run, a solid regular season finish is Minnesota's only option if it wants to hear its name called come Selection Sunday.
Pitino's Gophers find themselves in a similar situation as Tubby Smith's crew last season. Minnesota held an identical 6-8 Big Ten record with four games to go. They won the first two games in that final stretch, including an upset over then-No.1 ranked Indiana, before closing out with a pair of losses.
Despite an 8-10 mark in the Big Ten, the Gophers were able to sneak into the tourney as an 11-seed.
Minnesota is undoubtedly the underdog now, but a road win at Ohio State on Saturday could go a long way towards providing the boost needed to make a late run.

Finding time to give final care to an old, four-legged friend
I often joke about the "attrition plan" at my house – as our many pets go on to their great rewards, they will not be replaced. You see, over the years, we have accumulated far too many of them. A thick-headed black Labrador retriever. A rip-roaring terrier. A small, shy Chihuahua. Two cats – tiger-striped and metal gray.
And then there's the yellow mutt with the dark muzzle and the question-mark tail that this column is really about. Her name is Scout. She is in the last throes of her life. This I know like I know when my children are not feeling well.
Scout came to us 15 years ago. She turned up in the middle of the road as I was taking my two children to swimming lessons one summer. They shouted in unison, "Look! A puppy!"
A battle lost before it was waged. We stopped, scooped up the pup, bagged the swim lessons and went on to the vet's office, where the tiny creature was pronounced in need of food and water, but otherwise good to go.
And that has been our Scout for all her life. Good to go.
Until the last few months.
Her steps have become slow. She must navigate the front steps carefully, or she will fall. She takes a minute or so to let herself down onto her bed in the living room, mindful of weakened hindquarters that give in easily.
Her hearing has gone. I stomp my foot on the floor so she will feel the vibration and know that I am trying to get her attention. It's time to go out, Scout. It's time for supper, Scout.
Her eyesight is questionable. Sometimes she seems confused, not sure why she came into the kitchen. Oh, yes, that's right, to get some water.
Living with an old, old dog gets, well, old. Time consuming. Expensive. And, when there's a poop that doesn't get deposited in the proper place, just plain annoying.
So, the other day, as I was working at my computer, I watched Scout, who was asleep nearby on her bed. Frankly, I wondered if she had passed on. She did not seem to be breathing. I knelt down beside her and tried to wake her. She jumped slightly, and if she hadn't been breathing, she certainly began again.
I went to see the vet, minus Scout. "Something's got to give," I lamented. We stood in a tiny X-ray room, the door closed. I wanted this end-of-life discussion to be private. Partially, I'm sure, because I felt guilty about it.
The vet reviewed Scout's medical chart and promised to make a house call late that afternoon.
She knelt beside Scout, talked to her quietly, manipulated her extremities, felt here and there, watched her walk, considered her visual reactions.
"I think with some strong medication we can make her comfortable," she said. "Time will tell."
So we are making Scout comfortable now. As I write this, she is sleeping nearby, in her bed. Her breathing is slow, but steady. She will sleep all afternoon, until I rouse her for supper.
Yes, at the precipice of letting her go, fraught with gut feelings, both good and bad, I retreated. So much for the attrition plan. We're good to go, old Scout, until time tells you otherwise.

The district is seeking legal advice to ensure the geographical distinction does not constitute an "arbitrary designation" for acceptance, something the California Education Code prohibits it from doing. Pending approval, all Sagebrush applicants whose parents work in town will receive acceptance priority over students whose parents work in La Cañada but live elsewhere.

The board's decision came during a special meeting held in response to a Sagebrush parent's plea two days earlier that his 6-year-old daughter be allowed to start kindergarten in La Cañada Unified.
John Womack and his wife work in La Cañada and may currently request a transfer under the Allen Bill, a part of the Education Code that allows permit students whose parents work in a town to transfer out of their home districts, in this case Glendale Unified School District.
Before Thursday's decision, the Womacks were lumped together with La Cañada employees living in cities much further away and selected by a lottery system to fill vacancies.
"There are families who live in that section and work in La Cañada — I don't see why we wouldn't have priority," Womack said.
Superintendent Wendy Sinnette and school board members sympathized with Womack's situation Thursday as they discussed the precarious situation Sagebrush families find themselves in as LCUSD negotiates with Glendale Unified to annex that territory into La Cañada.
Previously, anticipating favorable results, La Cañada Unified offered to allow Sagebrush families in pre-determined grades who wished to transfer enrollment into the district in the 2014-15 school year.
But last month, when GUSD officials began to back away from an agreement, fearing the loss of attendance-related dollars and enrollment at Mountain Avenue Elementary School, La Cañada Unified withdrew that offer.
"We're getting very close to the school year; that's a pretty terrible situation to put these people in," Vice President Andrew Blumenfeld said of the withdrawal.
After Thursday's discussion, the board agreed to allow two applicants meeting both criteria — one kindergartner (Womack's daughter) and one seventh-grader — to transfer this year. Members also agreed to rewrite board policy regarding the acceptance process, allowing all Sagebrush students whose parents work in town priority over La Cañada employees who live out of town.
Given the extenuating circumstances of this year's process with the GUSD negotiations, for this school year, board members will consider Sagebrush Allen Bill families to be district residents, so their acceptance will not bump other applicants down the lottery ladder.
"If we can give some priority to these families as soon as possible it could relieve some duress," said board member Kaitzer Puglia.
After the decision, one Sagebrush parent addressed the board.
"I'm Liz Johnson and I'm on your (transfer) list," she said. "Thank you for wanting my first-grader. That's it."

Code mixups, typo's or any other error from time to time has an effect greater then anticipated by the staff member who performed the error.
"Human error happened and banned everyone from the network," Chatspike staff member w00t starts to explain to IRC-Junkie. Chatspike staff member Brain typoed a hostmask and the entire network was recognized as a litmus trojan, and banned as consequence. The whole network had to be restarted in order to fix the error."We've decided to make it somewhat of an annual celebration of staff stupidity," w00t continued. "We have designated October the 28th 'Blame Brain Day', and it's become a network wide holiday and celebration, It also serves as a reminder to users that just because we may have power, all opers are still human and prone to screw ups."
The day also includes a contest where users can send in images or video's depicting Brain making his now annually celebrated error. Amongst the prices are a virtual host, non-expiring nick and the ability to see users who /whois you. More information about the contest can be found on the Chatspike website.

Give me double entry
We're halfway through Week 3 and I've found all warning I received about the intensity of the program before coming here grossly understated. Every minute of the day is literally accounted for! I guess this depends on your level of activity outside of traditional classes. I try to be active in a lot of things, hence the pressure.
Anyway, talking about classes, we have six core courses this term…Strategy, Decision Science (sort of like statistics but decision science sounds more intellectual), Marketing, Financial Reporting, Finance and Managerial Economics. I must say i've enjoyed all of them so far (mostly due to the lecturers). Tomo Suzuki (Financial Reporting) is definately my favourite! In Tomo's world, everything can be reduced to 'DOUBLE ENTRY!' I suspect the class has internalised this view point as a classmate came up with the double entry for buying a beer (Cash on the Right (Reducing Asset), Beer(Increasing Asset) on the Left….genius! An honourable mention goes to my Decision Science lecturer who's made the course bearable (almost) with his eccentric and highly dramatic performances!
I've however had to learn to adjust to the way classes are structured here. The lectures are based primarily on case studies which are made available in advance. Students are then expected to read (actively read) these case studies (typically ranging from 5-20 pages long) prior to classes and form a well considered opinion. Then a good chunk of the class is spent talking about the case and listening to other opinions….the lecturer hardly ever puts forth his/her opinion. Their job is to sort of guide and facilitate the discussion. We're also expected to question the lecturer's viewpoints (I almost had a seizure when a classmate got into an argument about a concept and the lecturer seemed to welcome the argument)!
Coming from a background where the lecturer strides majestically into class, being the all knowing wise one, and reels out pearls of wisdom to his fortunate students, who accept his view point without question, this represents a significant shift. It can also be a challenge for those who don't have a lot of experience analyzing case studies as you're expected to hit the ground running. I'll recommend this book (Ellet, William. : The case study handbook :how to read, discuss, and write persuasively about cases) to anyone coming for an MBA….I wish someone recommended it to me before I came here!
What else have I been up to?
A-Z Bop at GTC….yes that's a real person (well done Daniel!)
Sexy Sub Fusc….a Bop right after Matriculation where students have to wear something from their Sub Fusc (official matriculation outfit) and try to look sexy….(Matan, Elias and I all trying and failing miserably) I have 'sexier' pictures of people who totally pulled sexy off….but I shall spare their future political careers.
With Ananth and Haben at the Emirates living it up!
Good times…

obx, thanks for correcting what has to be one of the most wrong statements made in this thread.To add to what you said, here's the reality: nobody in the world knows infection rates where you will be backpacking. That's the short version. The longer version is that, in for example California, they trap ticks and test them, a mere handful, you can look up this data online, they have a database you can access. For example, in the entire South of Monterrey area, they have a handful of sites, almost all, if not all, along the coast, for example Andrew Molera state park, and there they have collected a handful of ticks for sampling. So if you are backpacking in big sur, that data has exactly nothing to do with your actual risk factors. Also, each eco-region has its own infection rates, so any article that says there is a 1% infection rate without referring to the region/specific area is totally worthless and should be immediately discounted as a valid source of information, since whoever wrote it is clearly totally ignorant and unable to understand the question at hand. Even with regions the infection rates can be totally different depending on specific factors such as presence of walnut trees, ground mice, and deer, to name just one factor.Because the alleged data is so absurdly and badly done, one group at least in I believe Sonoma/North state counties collected their own tick samples and found up to I believe if memory serves, about 40% lyme infection rates in nymphs. The other factor is that infection rates seem to vary widely between nymphs (this big: . - and flesh colored, find that in your knee-pit after a hot sweaty day, I challenge you to do that) and adults, the nymphs have much higher infection rates than the adults, sometimes near 50% depending on the area.The other factor that people need to be aware of is it's very common for ticks to carry up to 3, or even more, diseases, only one of which is tested for, lyme, and that test is extremely poor, up to 50% false negative, which is one reason lyme is such a growing issue in the world, the tests are terrible and were originally not even meant to be used for diagnostic purposes, but were rather intended to test subjects that registered positive for clinical trials, I don't remember the exact details, sorry. So if you are treated for lyme, you may actually have one or two untreated co-infections, at worst case.Lastly, the notion that using antibiotics as plan A for treatment, that's a very very bad idea, that should be plan B, or even C, avoidance, careful checking (although with nymphs, that's a dream if you think you can spot those each time, 50% of lyme sufferers never even saw or felt the tick, and about 50% never get, or never see, because they weren't looking, the rash), permethrine, should be plans A/B, antibiotic treatment is plan C, and if you don't catch it in time, or don't get the symptoms properly diagnosed (very likely sad to say), look forwards to your backpacking days, and work, and other factors, being over, possibly forever, unless they find some way to get deep seated stuff out of your body.So yes, use permethrine, it's a no brainer, there is simply no comparison between the correctly noted possible toxic side effects of sprayed clothing and the absolutely certain damage lyme and related diseases will do.This ignores things like rocky mountain spotted fever, which can be, and is often, fatal.When talking about ticks and lyme, try to avoid spreading myths and untruths, it's extremely dangerous to have bad information on this subject, just use the permethrine and keep enjoying your hiking, while still being very aware and alert. Or don't, in the end natural selection will take care of the problem I guess, unless you've already had kids...
So, I do not think that permethrin is bad. Not at all. I also do not want to discourage it's use, quite the opposite. I do think however that the use of permethrin does not replace due diligence in regard to ticks – like searching for them if you walked through the bush in an area where there are a lot of ticks. And, should you have been bitten by one to keep a close look on the spot where you have been bitten for about at least three weeks. And yes, catching Lyme disease isn't completely trivial. Treating Lyme disease (and only Lyme disease) in the early stage however is as trivial as using the right antibiotic for the right amount of time (or are there Lyme strains that are resistent to treatment?)As for the 1% statement: Well, I think you should either talk to the English wikipedia (no, it's not from the German page) or probably change the article there. And yes, I do know my math and know that this is probably the mean risk for each individual tick bite. This does not say anything about the risk to a) get bitten by a tick and b) the risk to get infected by a tick in the area you hike in.Actually my intention was to provide more information then just "extremely dangerous". I apologize if this information wasn't very good or not to the point.
Here is some info on Lyme, hopefully enough to make sure you never want to get it. I'd recommend Permethrin for those in areas with lots of ticks, Lyme or not. It is a neurotoxin for insects and humans, but humans can break it down. I do remember some pets were susceptible to it while people were treating clothes, so be careful.http://www.cdc.gov/lyme/Incidence Maps 2001-2011, ie --Places to Worry!--http://www.cdc.gov/lyme/stats/maps/interactiveMaps.htmlIncreased incidence over the years may be due to better reporting (Lyme is a reportable disease), increased spread, and/or changes in habitat which favor the mice and deer that are part of the life cycle (more meadows and mice, less predators, etc...) There is no current consensus except that it is a combination of these factors. Incidence shown above correlates strongly with the % of ticks that carry Lyme (up to 40% in some areas).There was a 'shot' for Lyme disease which was the Lyme 'vaccine' that was on the market for a short time about ten years ago. It wasn't a true vaccine in the sense that it created perpetual immunity. It was actually just exogenously grown antibodies to Lyme that would be sucked up with host's blood and inactivate the Lyme before anything was regurgitated back in to the host. It only gave estimated protection for one year. It was available for pets after it came off the market.There has been more research in the past year about the types of lyme, but they all respond to the current regimen of antibiotics. Co-infection with sub-types is not un-common, and there may also be other tick-borne diseases such as Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever in the same tick. I am not sure if the current test for Lyme recognizes these sub-types.Testing for lyme is an antibody titer (count of host created lyme specific antibodies), which usually takes at least a month to be over the threshold. The diagnosis can be made clinically (by history and physical) without the test though. Again, half of the people never see a tick, and half never see a rash. Symptoms come in stages, and it may entirely skip some (like the rash). Sometimes the rash may be confused with cellulitis, which may then be treated with a too short course of antibiotics.Current medical guidelines do not recommend Lyme prophylaxis (short course of antibiotics) for a simple tick bite, because the medications (like any meds) have possible side effects that outweigh the benefit of early treatment. The situation where it may be advised based on a practitioners judgement is if it was in a highly endemic area (at least 10% of ticks carry Lyme), finding of a tick, that the tick was attached over 24 hours, and the general health of the patient.
I live and do a lot of hiking in the most concentrated Lyme area.A good portion of the Appalachian trail runs through this area and a lot of thru-hikers get it.I know a lot of people who have contracted it. One person developed partial paralysis within a couple months of infection. She had no sign of a tick bite.Many of us encouraged her to get tested when she first started getting the symptoms, but as usual, everyone said it wasn't that common.She finally did when the paralysis kicked in:-(One person has been suffering for years because it didn't get diagnosed soon enough.Another person got it twice.I was very ill before I realized I had it and it took a lot of effort to get my doctor to test for it. She has seen several cases ever since and was very surprised by how common it is in New York City and the suburbs.Most cases get misdiagnosed and/or are discovered too late.A very high percentage of outdoors people I know in the North East have had it. Don't listen to people who say otherwise. It is very real.
Despite the uncommon incidence in California, one friend of mine got the disease. For the longest time, there were symptoms that no physician could reason. Finally they did the specific test for Lyme disease, and it was the culprit. My friend still has not gotten rid of all of the symptoms after many years, despite treatment.Better safe than sorry.--B.G.--
"they all respond to the current regimen of antibiotics."With a huge qualifier, if you start them before they enter the core of your body, ie, the stage where you begin to manifest neurological symptoms, and/or joint issues, the treatment seems to generally work as intended. Once the deeper systemic infection happens, it's a total cr#pshoot re your luck and resistance and many other factors. Even though the IDSA current line is that the suggested type/treatment length of antibiotics work for all cases, that is simply not true once it gets in you deeply enough, as thousands of long term sufferers from this disease can explain with lesser or greater degrees of patience. There is however progress, I believe 5 or so years ago, they were recommending 2 weeks initial treatement with oral antibiotics, now they are up to 4, and for long term, they will get to much longer once they start treating actual patient data and not mythology of various types that continues to linger due to sloppy and highly questionable medical practices, some of which were succcessfully challenged in a connecticut law suite against the IDSA group.At that rate, I expect better diagnostic and treatment advice to be recommended by the cdc and other organizations (you know the ones, that's what most doctors google to decide how to treat the disease, literally, sad, but true) within the next decade. As one prominent researcher said, the only thing you can say for sure about our understanding of lyme is that what we think is right will either be proven wrong, or will change profoundly within a few years, so assuming any steady state type knowledge is a huge mistake, particularly if you are trusting a doctor who is not up on this stuff. Big gamble, I recommend against it.For those interested, here's a 2012 rhesus monkey study (silly bpl forum software, won't let link work: http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0029914 that disproves most of the nonsense the current (and erratically evolving status quo) promotes as fact or reality, including the fact that antibiotics do NOT work necessarily or reliably once it's deep in the body, and that the organisms live in a sort of suspended state that antibiotics are not able to do anything about since I believe they are only active to stop reproduction of the bacteria, or something. Hand the link on to anyone you know who had/has to deal with the sheep like ignorance of the industrial medicine technicians masquerading as 'doctors' which are currently the biggest obstruction to actual progress in this area.
These results demonstrate that B. burgdorferi can withstand antibiotic treatment, administered post-dissemination, in a primate host. Though B. burgdorferi is not known to possess resistance mechanisms and is susceptible to the standard antibiotics (doxycycline, ceftriaxone) in vitro, it appears to become tolerant post-dissemination in the primate host. This finding raises important questions about the pathogenicity of antibiotic-tolerant persisters and whether or not they can contribute to symptoms post-treatment.

Bob Gross, your friend is lucky the test came up positive, in many cases it does not, which makes dealing with the medical system even worse since that means they have to actually try to think for themselves and do what even the cdc says to do, rely on clinical evaluation for the actual diagnosis. And this makes them very uncomfortable, it's not what they are trained to do in most cases, unless you are lucky and have an actually smart doctor who can think for him/her self. The levels of antibodies your body generates apparently can vary very widely, which is why they keep looking for a more accurate test, with not so great results so far.Your friend is probably getting inadequate treatment if he/she is going to a run of the mill doctor, that's the norm currently, the state of ignorance is really bad in this area, particularly in Calif.
Harold, Thanks for keeping this bumped along and for all the useful info. You inspired me to delve a little further into tick borne disease. Maybe some o the more medically and scientifically attuned can add infohere's what I found about Hosts or host reservoirs which as I understand it are the warm blooded ( usually?) species that host the bacterium or maybe in some cases the virus ( but not w/ Lyme) which is then transmitted by the vector.... Mr Tick.... to the "victim" or maybe new host/reservoir ( or both)This from a report on the web found by googling hosts/reservoirs for Lyme DiseaseTo predict and prevent human risk of exposure to vector-borne diseases, it is vital to identify the reservoir hosts of the pathogens. Lyme disease is the most commonly reported vector-borne disease in the United States and is caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto, a member of the bacterial complex of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato.1 In the northeastern United States, the principal reservoir host of B. burgdorferi is the white-footed mouse (Peromyscus leucopus), but chipmunks (Tamias striatus), short-tailed and masked shrews (Blarina brevicauda and Sorex cinereus), and eastern gray squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) also serve as infectious hosts.2–5Similarly, in California, B. burgdorferi has been isolated from several host species including western gray squirrels (Sciurus griseus), dusky-footed wood rats (Neotoma fuscipes), and California kangaroo rats (Dipodomys californicus).6,7 However, prevalence of B. burgdorferi infection in wood rats and kangaroo rats typically has been low.6–9 Conversely, a study of western gray squirrels in oak woodlands in Mendocino County, northwestern California, showed that squirrels are commonly infected with B. burgdorferi (80% by polymerase chain reaction [PCR]), and that larval Ixodes pacificus ticks readily acquire infections (47% of attached larvae were infected).6We broaden the geographic survey of Lyme disease in Californian sciurids to sites throughout northern California and perform xenodiagnosis and transmission experiments using I. pacificus to determine whether western gray squirrels are competent I 'd surmise that the hosts/reservoirs on the Outer Banks of NC are the following mentioned eastern gray squirrels and we have lots of mice but not sure about white-footed. Also not sure about masked shrews but there are resident shrews but absolutely no chipmunks. We also have lots of thick brush, Ticks tend to get out on the ends of branches or grass stems and when they sense movement waive whichever of their 8 legs aren't holding the plant and grab whatever walks brushing by. I've carefully observed this. There's some lively discussion about whether or not they might actually "parachute" down on a passing victim but I wouldn't be surprised..... still contact with the plant/perch seems the greatest problem/vector unless you're maybe sitting/standing or laying down. Around here there's also a heavy population of both deer and rabbits which must help support the tick population, and a relatively benign environment in which ticks may be .....ahem... encountered year round though May through October are the worst months.It appears to me that the locales and incidence are spreading and increasing. According to Harold's posted map NC has a relatively light incidence yet anecdotally I'm hearing of more and more cases.

Untersuchungen zur Auswirkung von anorganischen Zusätzen auf die sekundären Reaktionen der thermischen Dehydrochlorierung von Polyvinylchlorid
(2004), 249 Bl.
Dissertation / Fach: Chemie
Fakultät für Chemie
Volltext in DuEPublico: Dokument 5542
Duisburg, Essen, Univ., Diss., 2004
Signatur des Buches: UWC2662_d
The context of this work examines the influence of zinc sulfide (ZnS) and other inorganic substances (Sb2O3, Sb2S3, Sn, Zn ) on the cross-linking reactions of the conjugated double bond sequences, which are generated as a consequence of thermal dehydrochlorination reactions of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC). With increasing cross-linking grade, the flammability of the corresponding PVC would be decreased due to the suppression of fragmentation reactions. In this work element balances of thermal degrading PVC samples with inorganic additives are analyzed, as well as thermogravimetric investigations are consulted. Apart from qualitative views a kinetic model of the dehydrochlorination reactions is developed using multivariate nonlinear regression analysis of thermogravimetric data. The changes in the thermally stressed polymer samples under argon and under oxygen admission are observed using different analytic techniques (visual video monitoring, infrared spectrometry, and scanning electron microscopy). It can be shown that during the thermal degradation of PVC the cross-linking reactions can be increased by several inorganic additives.

You've probably heard of the terms eco-chic, eco-friendly, and green fashion. If not, these terms are associated with the philosophy of sustainable fashion; aiming to reduce the "carbon footprint" or total emissions of greenhouse gasses produced by manufacturing, consumption, and waste of products.
Esperanza Spalding was the perfect choice to design another exclusive, one-off, special edition scarf for Front Row Society, available at nordstrom stores in 2013! While reading Marlo Morgan's, 'The Mutant Code Down Under' and 'The Mutant Message From Forever', the aboriginal spirit inspired a desire in Esperanza to be wrapped in their essence; their knowledge of music, their expression of art, to embrace the earth as a caretaker and to treat dreams as a way of life. This special edition scarf directly relates to aboriginal wisdom, triumph, healing and sacred knowledge. If saving the world wasn't good enough, 10% of the proceeds go to Earth Justice, a non-profit public interest law organization dedicated to protecting the magnificent places, natural resources, and wildlife of this Earth.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (June 20, 2011)— "I am continuing to closely monitor the recent flash flooding in several southeastern and south-central Kentucky counties.
We have activated our Emergency Management Operations Center to help state and local teams assist in aiding these counties and are determined to get these folks all the assistance they need.
Sadly, local officials report one fatality from the flooding, and my thoughts and prayers go out to the family of this victim.
I am also continuing to closely monitor the efforts to free the trapped miners in Middlesboro and have been in constant contact with officials on the ground.
The Kentucky Office of Mine Safety and Licensing has been on the scene since this morning working with federal officials and the company to free the miners, and according to the encouraging reports we have received, the uninjured miners are able to communicate with those above ground and are expected to be rescued some time this evening."

With its growing accessibility, the Internet
has becomes a vital source for research. It is convenient to use and the
information contained on the Internet is plentiful. However, not all of
that information is accurate or even credible.
When using the Internet as a research tool,
the user must differentiate between quality information and misinformation.
Ultimately, the
job of evaluating a source's credibility lies with the user.
This article provides five valuable criteria for evaluating Internet sources.
The most important part of evaluating a Web site is checking the accuracy
of the source and content. The foremost rule in checking accuracy is
to validate the information in more than one source. The back-up source can be another
Web site or a print source. Preferably, one of the sources will
be published by a reputable company or knowledgeable person in the field.
If the user finds more than one source that conflicts
with the research, it is best not to use that information.
To further evaluate the accuracy of a Web site, answer
the following questions:
Only through research can the user verify the
facts and find supporting evidence to answer these questions. Remember
that the Internet allows anyone to publish, so be extra careful in evaluating
the information found there.
Two things to consider when evaluating the authority of a site are 1)
the author and the text and 2) the publisher
or sponsor of the site.
The author should be:
One of the first things to decide is whether a site is useful, especially
in cases when a search engine is used. When a keyword is searched, often
thousands of hits will appear. The first step in evaluating usefulness
begins with the result list. By reading the title and the description
of a site provided in the list, the user will usually have a good idea
if the site is worth investigating.
After selecting a site, the true evaluation of usefulness
begins. When investigating a broad topic, read through all the information
on the site, then answer the following questions:
Is the information on the site current? This is not always an issue in
evaluating a site. For example, information on the development of stage
design in the 1800s will stay much the same whether it was printed yesterday
or three years ago. However, researching a current event, such as multiculturalism
in today's classroom, requires the most current information possible.
When evaluating the site, take into consideration when the information
was published and when the site was last updated. Also consider the currentness
of the links provided on the site.
Even though presentation of a site doesn't necessarily indicate the
validity of its information, it does affect an evaluation of the site.
The presentation of information on a site is important not only because
it makes the first impression on the user, but also because it affects
how easily the information can be accessed and documented.
When evaluating the presentation of a Web site, consider
the following questions:
The publisher or sponsor of the page is often a good
indicator of content. If a reputable reference-work publisher, such as
Encyclopedia Britannica, produces the site it should be considered
trustworthy, although the information still needs to be supported. However,
if the publisher is unknown or is an individual, take extra care in checking
the facts. When an organization or corporation sponsors a page, beware
of bias. Often these sites are meant to persuade the user either to purchase
a product or to adopt a belief. Pay special attention to the language
used and the way in which it is presented.

The music of Boards of Canada has its way of soundtracking a journey within your own imagination. Floating amidst the realms of beauty and mystery, the music of Scottish siblings Michael Sandison and Marcus Eoin allows you to become your own deity where you can create your own world that varies in colors, shapes, oceans, and skies. Here is where your senses can bloom to their full potential. No imagination is too vivid. Boards of Canada just want you to dream.
With releases dating back to 1995, the Warp Records stalwarts have cemented their roles as IDM icons, surprisingly with minimal press and marketing. Believing in the power of subliminal messaging, their work specializes in evocative, mournful, downtempo material with familiar motifs of nature and childhood memories—but their sound has equally been described as coming from malfunctioning equipment excavated from the ruins of an early-'70s computer lab. More recently, while the world was caught up in the hyped release of another European electronic duo, Boards of Canada were dropping pieces of their Tomorrow's Harvest puzzle around the globe, creating an underground buzz that was both meaningful and humble. As we welcome the group's impending fourth studio long-player, which drops on Monday, June 10, let us reminisce on their past, with our 10 favorite Boards of Canada tracks.
The glitch-hop vocal scatter of "Telphasic Workshop" showcases the duo's knack for creating a cerebral mood with the oddest of samples—without sounding completely overworked. Simple shifts in audial sculpting through manipulating the sample make for a final product that is rich in its chaotic precision.
Upon first listen of "1969," one gets a mellow, summer vibe from the sonics, but the lyrics tell a different story. The bright starburst synthesizer works its way around the lines "Although not a follower of [sample reversed]/She's a former devout Branch Davidian." If you flip the sample back to its original state, it reveals the name David Koresh, who was the leader of the Branch Davidian cult in Waco, Texas. The time on the track comes in at 4:19, which coincidentally was the date the Waco compound was torched. "1969" is a perfect example of how Boards of Canada use thought-provoking material to create another hidden sub-layer to their music, without you knowing it.
In the same vein of "1969's" mood of a distant yet familiar era of the past, so cries the song "In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country." Lyrics "Come out and live in a religious community/In a beautiful place out in the country" circle back on the group's recurring cult themes.
Amo Bishop Roden was the widow of one of David Koresh's rivals. The song's ambient wash of textures coupled with the story of Amo herself add to the pensive nature that each Boards of Canada song creates.
"An Eagle in Your Mind" is a track that focuses mainly on its cyclic panning loop drones and somewhat unspoken pulse that increases in pressure as the song goes on. Here, the brothers exercise their genius with creating textures.
The spacey, galactic lounge vibe of "Turquoise Hexagon Sun" is developed through the tone of the electric piano and a kick drum that sounds like poorly distributed weight in a clothes dryer. Using field recordings to create the atmospheric noise, BoC's subtle ambience makes for an enigmatic experience.
"Everything You Do Is a Balloon" is a prime example of the duo's infatuation with gauzy, ambient synths and minor-key shifts. Though they use this technique in quite a few of their songs, this track proves that sometimes all you really need is a simple loop and a relaxed drum sequence to create the right kind of vibe.
The intro to "Dayvan Cowboy" reads more like a national anthem than it does anything else. As the song progresses, however, the somewhat hokey guitar riff is just the groundwork to a piece that can simply be defined as "triumphant." Triangles and shakers are layered on top of acoustic distortion that later morphs into a crash-heavy drum solo.
The deep pressure movement and unconventional percussion of "Left Side Drive" create an underwater effect that sonically puts you at ease. Beautifully sparse production that is darkly emotive.
This rhythmic lo-fi number showcases the duo's never-disappointing cheery dreamscapes made with analog sounds.

Great mascara! Not quite perfect.
My eyelashes are quite good, both length wise and volume wise.
This gives amazing length and volume and the wand is very convinient literally grabing every-single-lash and lifting them!! The price is also amazing! Overall i was very happy with it and this is my go-to mascara for the night when i want the most dramatic lashes possible
-This can easily clump up your lashes, so you have to be careful with it, otherwise you might end up with "4 thick eyelashes", you know, the spider legs effect! Even though i'm someone who, when it comes to mascaras, i say "the more dramatic, the better", this one i avoid for daytime!
-It makes my eyelashes very hard. The impressive thing is,though, i've slept with it a couple of times (awful of me,i know). When i woke up i had flakes under my eyes, but the mascara was there, hard and solid and my eyelashes were still curled and dramatic. So i don't know what to make of this.
Overall i would recommend this, since most people tend to like it PLUS it's so cheap, you won't be crying for your lost money :)

I. LOVE. THIS. MASCARA. I have somewhat unfortunate asian lashes - short but not entirely sparse. They've been growing since I started using Select Lash growth serum, but still not the beautiful long voluminous lashes I wish I had. This stuff makes my lashes look long, voluminous and full! However beware it can get clumpy if you don't know how to apply it. The wand comes out with a lot of product so you have to be careful applying. Less is more ;) also it's handy to have one of those lash combs to separate your lashes in between coat applications. It's so cheap less than $4 at my local walgreens and it's my go to mascara. I used to love Tarte lights camera lashes but the price was too high and to be quite honest, this mascara is better and 5 times cheaper!! Love it. HG. Amazing, cheap, 5 lippies all worth it

I'm on my second tube of this. This is a VERY good low-priced mascara.
My lash type: fairly light-colored with blonde tips, long but in need of volume
The good:
-Very black. I love drama, and this definitely delivers. It plays up my light green eyes beautifully.
-Good lengthening. My lashes just about hit my brows.
-Great volume. I am sometimes asked if I'm wearing falsies.
-Cheap! It was $3.99 at my local Walgreens.
The bad:
-It smudges throughout the day and can sometimes flake, which is the reason I took off a lippie. It really helps to use a primer.
-Formulation is a bit thin.
-The outside of tube gets easily coated with product, so watch out.
It is a definite drugstore must have!

This is a fantastic mascara, and I still can't get over how inexpensive it it, like $3 at Walgreens. I saw so many great reviews for it on MUA and a lot of people on YouTube recommend it too, so I decided to try it out. It gives me great volume and length and holds my curl, which never happens for me with a non waterproof formula. Would highly recommend and definitely rebuy.

I've already bought my fourth tube of this stuff. I was in Walgreens one day browsing the Jordana section which I didn't have much experience in. I checked on Makeupalley and surprisingly, most Jordana cosmetics had such high reviews. I'm very picky with mascara and for $3, not going to lie, I was hesitant it would do anything for my lashes but then again, it was $3 so I had nothing to lose. Wow. Just wow. This gives such amazing volume and can hold my curl. Definitely my HG mascara that I don't feel guilty repurchasing.

When I first applied this mascara, I did not like it one bit. It went on so wet and it did not help to lengthen, volumize, or separate my lashes at all. I tried it a few more times just to give it a fair shot, and I still hated it. But a month later I randomly decided to give it another go and, oh...my...god!!! It was like night day. The formula had dried out a bit and it went on very nicely. It gave me tons of volume and length, and it really helped to define my lashes. It doesn't flake or "melt" off my face like loreal voluminous does. (That is the worst mascara ever btw!!!)This mascara is just as good, if not better than any department store mascara I've tried.

AMAZING mascara and ridiculously cheap to boot. I have sensitive eyes and allergies so I will pay a lot for a mascara just so it doesn't irritate me. If it does that, and doesn't flake (besides raccoon eyes, flaking also = mega irritation) then it's a good mascara in my book, but this goes above and beyond. My lashes are naturally decently long, dense, and curly. Nothing outstanding, but they're ok. However, they are blonde! So you can't see them without mascara anyway, haha. This one has the perfect texture, I like my mascara a little wet because that means no clumping adds gorgeous volume with just one quick coat, and has amazing rich black color. Also it lasts all day and NEVER flakes. I live in New England, so I see hot, humid summer weather and very harsh, snowy winter weather, and this holds up like a charm in both. It even holds up to my teary allergy eyes, although it doesn't claim to be waterproof. But despite that, it's so easy to remove with a cleanser. The packaging is great too, cute, but more importantly the mascara doesn't tend to bunch up at the opening which is a giant pet peeve of mine. Basically, this is an A+++++ mascara that has it all.

I love this mascara! It's perfect and very cheap. It adds a lot of volume and some decent length. It can get clumpy if you layer a lot, but my usual two layers add the perfect amount of lash, without clumps.
This kind of reminds me of YSL False Effect mascara, but it doesn't dry out as quickly as that one.
The formula is on the wet side, but I like that.
I have and will rebuy this one.

Hands down my favorite mascara ever. I strayed because I have unreachable expectations of getting my eyelashes to look like falsies. The closest I will ever get is with this. I am officially done searching. I've gone through 4 of these already, they are everything I could ever want in a mascara.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Wade Davis pitched out of bases loaded jams in the first two innings, Billy Butler and Jeff Francoeur homered and the Kansas City Royals beat the Minnesota Twins 3-0 on Wednesday night to sweep the three-game series.

Davis (1-0) held the Twins to four singles in five scoreless innings, striking out six, walking three and hitting a batter.
