That 1 in a 100 tick bite can transmit not one but several highly dangerous bacteria into your system at the same time. These bacteria may be a cause of CIRS

Few people know about CIRS, or Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome and Cytokine Storms that occur when triggered.
I am not a doctor and this is not medical advice. Please refer to your doctor before taking ANY action.
I have been chronically ill for 30 years, and it has taken 30 years to unravel this mystery. It is possible my CIRS began with a tick bite around 1990. 30 years later I finally am able to begin to connect the dots for the first time.
Recent research indicates that you can be bitten by a tick 99 times and suffer no ill effects, but that 1 in a 100 tick bite can transmit not one but several highly dangerous bacteria into your system at the same time.
These bacteria cause Lyme’s disease, Ehrlichiosis, and other related illnesses which can trigger your immune system to make major mistakes. Antibiotics will kill the bacteria, but the effects do not go away.
In layman’s terms, something enters your body and your immune system starts making mistakes.
I do not know how to cure CIRS at this time so I try to eliminate the CIRS “triggers”, which is my case is a white mold.
There are over 100,000 different kinds of fungi and molds, and they are essential to life on earth. But there are also a handful of molds that are toxic to some, and I have become one of these people following my tick bite which gave me Ehrlichiosis. Had doctors known to correctly diagnose the condition and immediately prescribe antibiotics my life would probably have been very different these past 30 years.
Here’s a picture of the toxic white mold growing on a small food processor that was stored in a kitchen cabinet which had previously been treated with a mold chemical fog 6 months earlier. This mold is incredibly aggressive and so far has resisted my attempts to kill it throughout my cabin.
If you can help identify this mold I would be eternally grateful. Send your info to: mailto:mold@paxenergie.com
Toxic molds release their poison, called mycotoxins, in tiny airborne seeds or spores. I am currently surviving by filtering the “inside” air using MERV 13 filters which trap particles as small as 1 micron. Mycotoxic spores are apparently between 1 and 100 microns in diameter, about the same size as COVID virus particles. It only takes a few spores to trigger my symptoms.
Here is a picture of the MERV13 cube I built for about $50 USD (1″, not 2″ filters). The fan runs 24/7 and I change the filters every 3 months. It allows me to live in one room until I can find ways to decontaminate the remaining parts of my cabin. It doesn’t completely eliminate the toxin but it does lower the level to where I can function.
One immediate effect of the tick bite is I became highly gluten intolerant. No gluten, greatly improved GERD!
To learn more about CIRS, I recommend the work of Dr. Karen D. Johnson who has published a CIRS overview. I do not know Dr. Johnson and can not speak for her qualifications.
