Do Paralysis Shell Back Tick Bites cause Depression.
Over the last couple of months i`ve been intermediately removing lantana and priviet regrowth whilst land clearing.
i`ve just come out of another bout of tick bite poisoning this time around was fairly servere with half a dozen on the skull and three around the neck.
This batch are very small and near impossible to remove so much so half a liter of metho spirits i`ve poured over my head this week trying to evacuate these creatures to no avail.
So today i decided to do a make over and shaved my hair off to tackle the blighters...and the head aches have been terrible.
So what i`m trying to present here is on the four recent accounts over a couple of months.
I`ve asked myself why am i feeling so depressed not just down and flat on energy but that also.
Each time on the four accounts i came up with the same answer ```are it`s the tick bites.``
It took me 4 episodes of cognitive thinking to realizes and conclude that tick poisoning is causing me Depression.
nota bene . NB.
 
Cheers. didn`t get the rashes but the head aches were of a migraine type a little like a intense covid cold.
My English language..:rolleyes:
 
Visit to the quack is in order mate as depression comes in many forms. Cheers
Thankz for the concern mate.
Lots of trauma on this side of the fence at the End of the Day the problems only go away after you stop thinking about them in regard to mental health.
Quack wrote me a script for Zoloft 20 years back of which i never cashed in.
Each to their own but i`d never take anti depressants no matter what.
Certainly never mix it with alcohol from what i`ve seen.
Others just use alcohol or other relative substances to find a way out.
We All suffer at times that is the Dukkha in the Pali language.
Personally i think everyone has a bout of depression more so than they would like to admit.
 
I've had tick bite fever back in Zimbabwe a few times and it's horrible. I know of of few Zimbaweans over here who've had it again while being out bush here and say it's the same symptoms, when confronting the medical professionals over here, they were told it doesn't occur in Australia. Bad fever with very high temperatures ( to the point of hallucinating )and profuse sweating, followed by extremely cold bouts where no amounts of blankets would suffice, headaches from hell, painful joints and even vision being affected. (symptoms do vary though, this was my experience) Then to top it off, if the head of the tick was left still attached to the body, that would also go septic. Similar symptoms, to tick bite fever, but if it doesn't occur here, and you've had ticks on you. What is it? Lyme disease and Tick bite fever are 2 different things.
 
Back in military training days we did some in whe Wongan Hills (North of Perth) We were warned not to sleep under black boys due to tick infestation.
One idiot didn't take this advice, he ended up with countless ticks attached next inspection.
Tick Inspection: We laugh about it now but at the time it was embarrassing. Form up naked and we inspected one another including the crack of bums.🤣😅😂 If ticks were found, only medical staff could remove them to alleviate leaving their heads buried under skin trying to pull them ourselves.
