Doctors Say Tick Borne ‘Powassan Virus’ Is Worse Than Lyme Disease

Started showing up in Bridgeport, CT which is just across Long Island Sound from the Plum Island Animal Disease Center.  Lyme's Disease originated in the same area in Lyme, CT which is also just across the Sound from Plum Island Animal Disease Center.  What a coincidence...
