Ticks usually bring Lyme disease into the spotlight. But a scarier sickness called Severe Fever with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome (SFTS) lurks in the shadows. It kills up to 30% of those infected. Scientists in China have found a 'super antibody' that may stop this deadly disease. SFTS was first spotted in 2009 during cases of mysterious fever spikes. The research team says this protein could 'open up new avenues' to fight ticks' growing threat. While Lyme disease causes tiredness, SFTS is far more dangerous. This discovery offers hope against a rising parasitic menace.
