Newly discovered tick-borne 'Bourbon Virus' is behind mysterious death of Kansas man

• John Seested, 68, was admitted to University of Kansas hospital in June with symptoms similar to those of tick-borne diseases
• But tests for known illnesses came back negative shortly before he went into multiple organ failure and died
• Researchers from the CDC and University of Kansas discovered the disease was tick borne, dubbing it the Bourbon Virus
• No vaccine currently exists for the virus, though researchers say they're working on how to combat it
---the story at MoS link above

I DJ'd a 4th of July party at a Bourbon Co. lake once and survived a tick bite; but that was centuries ago.

Wonder if Bourbon will be part of the cure or vaccine? Or at least relax you ahead of the cure or vaccine??!!
 
Use of bourbon was in evidence at the lake party, I do recall! lol
