Horrifying and mystifying


To engage in one of the more basic human enjoyments like going in the woods...without keeping this film in mind...now seems quite threatening. And to consider the ramifications of what is stated about disease transmission between people...it looks like there's a large threat. I say 'mystifying' because the film can get your imagination going. I wonder if there's a way of sterilizing or reducing the tick population...I also wonder if lowering the deer population would have an effect. Oh, and if you're squeamish: there's a scene in this where a woman gives birth. I would have shaved 10 minutes off and included web links and prevention tips at the end.

the best prevention, imo, is activism. we need better tests, and better treatments. which was the very reason this documentary was filmed imo.
