Guest guest Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 1/ You only had cfs last year now don´t have it - post viral syndrome you recovered from sounds like to me. 2/ Please do you research more about ticks in Japan - they have them like everywhere else. ie, rickettsial infections. etc. mites = Sarcoptes scabiei etc. Mites and ticks are different.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 D, I grew up in eastern Pennsylvania - and believe me, I know what a tick is. I grew up with them. However, I have lived in Japan for 19 years and have never seen a tick. Now, maybe they are in other parts of Japan but I have never seen any here. There are plenty of mites though and they are a major problem in the fact that they are a cause of atopic dermatitis (eczema) for many people. As a language teacher here for 19 years I have also come across many people saying " ticks " when they wanted to say " mites " because the Japanese vocabulary does not distinguish between a tick and a mite - they use the same word for both, which is " dani. " (They used to use the same word " Aoi " for green and blue, but after the war added the word " midori " to stand for green. Thus, many people often say the light is blue, while in the US we would say it is green. " ) You can call it whatever you want - CFS or Post-viral syndrome - but for me these are just labels. I prefer the term " Microwave Illness. " When I moved away from the microwaves and out of the electrosmog, my symptoms suddenly and gradually disappeared, and my immune system recovered - however I did become sensitive to the electromagnetic radiation, whereas before that I would say that I had gradually become desensitized to it. Our bodies adapt, but there is a limit to what we can adapt to, and that is when we get sick. Dr. Carlo, who headed the research for the cell phone industry between 1993-1996, uses the analogy of a frog in hot water. If you put a frog in boiling water it will hop out of it immediately, but if you put the frog in cold water and slowly and gradually increase the temperature, the frog will not notice this and will slowly be cooked. Well, that is what is happening to us. We are slowly being cooked as they keep on increasing the amount of EMR (Electromagnetic Radiation) in our midst. And as long as people want to keep denying this, nothing will be done about it. peace, paul > > > > I have never seen a tick per se, but there certainly are lots of > > mites here compared to other places.
