>Do you not understand the FDA approval process? There are industrial-grade chemicals fully FDA approved for ingestion by the US populace which are outright banned by various European countries.
Which of my questions do you think you answered?

and ticks in Germany are massive compared to the ones we get in North America.
Which lyme carrying species are you comparing? For Ixodes scapularis compared to Ixodes ricinus I see adult female sizes of 2.5 mm vs 3.6 mm. Not a huge difference. Are you sure you're not comparing larvae or nymphs to adults or even gorged adults?

>Do you mean the millions of "long covid" cases which already exist today? Long covid has yet to be scientifically proven.
post-infection syndromes are well established, and not unique to coronaviruses. It can occur after an infection with ANY pathogen, including covid-19. after any critical illness, doesn't even have to be an infection, with an ICU stay where intubation was required, the odds are ~50% you will be left with a permanent injury for life. However even after relatively moderate infection a permanent lifelong injury may remai…

Wasn't trying to answer your question...just pointing out that FDA approval means fuck-all. Seems you've put quite a bit of value to it either way. Good luck on your path.
That's a real high quality contribution there.
It's the kind of thing that's made HN so... different... over the last year (or four)

You think so? I thought it was the youthful boot-lickers and random "software developers" constantly marketing their "web apps". Also, feel free to express your emotions, I feel that you may be hiding your true feelings with that word - "different". It seems you don't feel the same, but I'm not concerned about quality of "contributions" on a random message board on the internet...I'm just having a random conversation with random strange strangers. It seems you've held the HN board at as high of a pedestal as the FDA approval process (but perhaps I'm projecting).
Not sure what your argument is though? You don't like the term fuck-all (sorry, English is not my native tongue), or you don't understand that the FDA process is ementhal-cheese-like by comparison to European standards?

Go easy on the arrogance over substance.

Can you please cite these safety tests?
Apparently, you just created an account to challenge this comment. Do you not understand the FDA approval process? Or do you not understand how to Google that question yourself? Or is it something else? Seriously. What possessed you to create an account to challenge this comment without doing any research at all, yourself?

I've taken a tick out of my dog in Germany and I've taken a tick out of my dog in Canada. The German tick was nearly an inch long with. The Canadian ticks I take out of my dogs are specks with legs, or at the most 2-3cm long.
Ticks in Germany are no longer than about 1 cm when saturated, at most. An inch sounds incredible to me - probably a different species?
