An infectious film about microbes, money and medicine.
One of the most controversial illnesses in the history of medicine, Lyme disease may be the fastest growing infectious disease in the United States. Yet each year thousands are misdiagnosed - many of them told that their symptoms are "all in their head." This upcoming documentary investigates the shocking human, medical, and political dimensions of Lyme disease, an emerging epidemic destroying countless numbers of lives. A case study of the dangers of the confluence of money and medicine, the film brings into focus a haunting picture of our healthcare system and its inability to cope with a biological terror under our skin.

The doctor was very unfamiliar with the disease, but aided with information my father found on the internet, he diagnosed it and I took antibiotics. The rash lasted about a week and I never had any secondary symptoms.
The disease is dangerous, but is easily treated.
This film not only gives hope to those who suffer from Lyme, but enlightens those who are uninformed. It also explains the reasons behind the controversy in diagnosing and treating Lyme Disease in a way that's easy to for anyone to understand. I'm so glad that someone finally brought the medical travesty regarding this disease to light.
Definitely one of the best documentaries I've seen!
It is only due to them not wanting to reasearch and learn more about tic-borne infections that are taking our lives!!!!!! This disease will take my life with-in the next 5 years and leave my children with-out their mom. This didn't have to happen!
