  • Usually co infections, temperatre variations changed so much the cycle has changed.

    ECM rash 30% if seen, sometimes diagnosed on symptoms only.

    Lmye disease initially attacks the CNS, note latency

  • Mice and deer are not the only animals that carry ticks and

    lyme. Birds, mice, and many other animals including

    domestic animals carry ticks as well.

    Also, many of us never get a rash, flu, inflammation, other symptoms. Since ticks can be as small as the period at the end of this sentence it can be impossible to see them.

    ABs can help if diagnosed early, but not necc a cure.

    Also there are a number of other tick infections that need treatment as well.

    Thanks for working on helping.

  • Very helpful! Thanks from Normandy.

  • Wrote a Lyme disease brochure with the help of 2 Lyme disease specialists. Will email to anyone.
