UnaPolitic

it’s a jungle out there. from local to global. political musing may range from inane to profound. well, lets hope there is something profound.

UnaVamp

Una gazes into the mirror of the vampire metaphor. Why is the Anglo-Saxon world so obsessed with it? What does it say about us?

UnaLife

the personal is political. life imitates art. everything is interconnected. who is Una? she is reflected in her writings and some of her writings are self-reflective.

Zuna

the light of my life. my daughter. perhaps she’ll post some photos, drawings, ideas, messages or wishes. mama cedes this space.

UnaLyme

information about Borellia Bergdorferi (Bb), a.k.a. Lyme Disease. It’s a microscopic bacteria, not a big bug.

When we think about Lyme, we also need to be thinking about Babesia, Bartonella, Erlichiosis, Rikketsia and others. You can see a full list here.

Here’s a fun little chart:

There you have it. Many of us get two or more of these. This is why I’d like to change the name “Tick-Borne Disease Awareness Month.”
