Good advice Betty! Sorry to all of you who have this devastating disease. It is hard for people who don't have it or know someone who has it to understand the toll it takes on one's body and life. To those who do suffer from it, you are in my prayers. Kudos to the reporter on this excellent article!

Glad everyone is reading this. rr, I don't know how long they live in a wood pile but here's some sites to go to for more info, www.lymenet.org, lymediseaseassociation.org, or here's the Wisconsin Lyme online support group http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/Wis...
Also there is no simple cure to lyme unless caught right away and treated correctly. Don' tfall for false cures, and it doesn't take 72 hours to transmit lyme. The CDC says 24 or less hours. Many people say they noticed the tick right away and still got it. So if you have a tick bite or have symptoms it's best to treat right away!

15 years and oh, The problem with stats is that Lyme is way underreported. The IDSA put such stringent guidelines for reporting that most Drs do NOT report it. To be CDC positive is almost impossible. The tests are inaccurate andit is way under diagnosed. So when and IF the real numbers are revealed, it may be the worst epidemic. If you don't know about this, do some google searches as to why they just found the IDSA panel biased and put all new people in to review lyme guidelines. There's a lot to it that people don't know about. It's a political disease.
